Description/notes
The Amazon Conservation Team partners with indigenous and other local communities to protect tropical forests and strengthen traditional culture.
25 years ago, the Amazon Conservation Team (ACT) was founded with a mission to work with indigenous and local communities to protect the Amazon, believing that local inhabitants were the best protectors of their territories.
Since the beginning, ACT’s decisions have been guided by close consultation with our partner communities, particularly the elders, who have defined our priorities in the fight for ancestral land rights and protection.
Active in Colombia, Suriname, and Brazil. (website)
