ONE FOREST; MANY GIFTS. 🎁

Açaí berries, Brazil nuts, and palma real all grow high in the Amazon canopy, on some of the tallest trees in the forest. In Bolivia, harvesters climb them with harnesses to reach the fruit, part of a cycle that repeats every season—that is, as long as the forest stays standing. 🌳

For more than a decade, our sister organization Conservación Amazónica-ACEAA has worked alongside Bolivian communities whose livelihoods depend on this harvest, helping turn it into a lasting, sustainable economy. From the canopy to your smoothie, your trail mix, your skincare shelf: every product traces back to a forest that's still standing because of it and in service of it.

🌎 This Rise for the Amazon Day, help us sustain the cycle. Thanks to the generosity of a dedicated donor and our Board of Directors, every gift made for Rise for the Amazon Day will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $20,000.

🌿 Our 2025 Annual Report is here!

Throughout 2025, we worked alongside communities, local partners, scientists, and conservation leaders to protect forests, strengthen local conservation efforts, and put science and technology to work across the Amazon Rainforest.

From protecting wild places and monitoring threats to strengthening sustainable livelihoods and supporting the people who care for the forest, our 2025 work reflects one shared goal: building a thriving Amazon for generations to come.

We invite you to look back at the people, partnerships, and progress that made this work possible, and see what we’re building together for the future.

🌿1 WEEK UNTIL RISE FOR THE AMAZON DAY!

Across the Andes-Amazon landscape, people are working every day to restore ecosystems, conserve water sources, and build a more resilient future.

Meet Marlene Mamani, a Peruvian biologist and Andean Restoration and Community Relations Specialist at Conservación Amazónica–ACCA, was recently recognized as a National Geographic Explorer for her work alongside high-Andean communities. Marlene joins communities in Cuzco in restoring degraded wetlands and grasslands, and provides support to local firefighting brigades. Her work is a reminder that conservation is not only about protecting landscapes; it’s just as much about supporting the people who know, live in, and care for them.

On September 5th, Rise for the Amazon Day will bring global audiences together around one shared question: What will you do for the Amazon?

🌎 From the Amazon to us all. What will you give back?

| Meet the 𝗚𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 (𝘔𝘺𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘨𝘢 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘺𝘭𝘢), also known as the 𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗿 or 𝗼𝘀𝗼 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮.

With its distinctive long snout and bushy tail, this remarkable mammal is perfectly adapted to its diet of ants and termites. It can consume thousands of insects in a single day, using its long, sticky tongue to reach deep into nests.

The Giant Anteater is mostly solitary and spends much of its time foraging on the forest floor. Although it may look slow and gentle, it can move surprisingly quickly when threatened.

Captured by camera traps from our sister organization , this glimpse into the life of an oso bandera reminds us of the incredible wildlife that moves through the Peruvian Amazon forests.
