Protecting, Empowering, and Conserving the Andean Amazon

We conserve and protect more than 5 million hectares of the Andes Amazon in southern Peru. We use science, technology and strategic actions to contribute to its conservation. We also empower people and governments to join forces in this vital mission.

What We Do

We Protect Natural Areas

We protect the most critical and biodiverse Andes Amazon ecosystems in the southern of Peru by creating and strengthening conservation areas, directly addressing threats; thus, ensuring the connectivity of the essential landscape for the survival of species.

Empowerment of People and Governments

We build sustainable and resilient livelihoods that protect forests while strengthening environmental governance. Together, we improve the management and long-term protection of natural resources.

Conservation Through Science and Technology

Our network of conservation centers operates as living laboratories, generating high-quality scientific research and applying cutting-edge technologies to protect ecosystems and biodiversity.
