We conserve biodiversity in Peru and Bolivia where the Andes meet the Amazon rainforest
ACA’s directors and staff are experienced ecologists and conservationists who work to protect biodiversity by studying ecosystems and developing innovative conservation tools to protect land in the region while supporting the livelihoods of local communities. Concentrating resources in the field, ACA aims to protect the forests by creating a network of state, community, and private lands managed f
Today is the International Day of Hope. The climate crisis can often feel overwhelming. Optimism is not ignoring the challenges we face, but rather choosing to act despite them.
As climate change intensifies, the Amazon remains one of our greatest allies.
We invited Daniel from our sister organizations Conservación Amazónica– ACEAA and Corine from Conservación Amazónica - ACCA to answer a simple but powerful question:
What is your hope for the future of the Amazon?

| Curious, social, and almost always on the move, the 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲-𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗲𝗰𝗰𝗮𝗿𝘆 (𝘛𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶 𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘪) is rarely seen alone.
These animals travel through the Amazon in large herds, communicating constantly as they search for food across the forest. Their strong social behavior and need for large, connected habitats make them an important indicator of healthy ecosystems.
Captured by the camera traps of our sister organization , this moment offers a rare look at one of the Amazon’s most fascinating forest travelers.

The Amazon doesn't just hold water, it moves it. 🌊
Invisible atmospheric flows known as flying rivers carry moisture from the tropical Atlantic across the entire Amazon Basin, delivering over 70% of the annual rainfall that sustains forests, farms, and communities in Peru and Bolivia. But deforestation along their path, particularly in Brazil, is putting this system at risk, with consequences that reach far beyond Brazil's borders.
In this first video in our series on Flying Rivers, based on Amazon Conservation's recently published white paper, Corine Vriesendorp from walks us through the threats facing this invisible but essential system and why protecting the Amazon's forests means protecting water.
This , we're reminded that the Amazon's fate is everyone's responsibility.

Somewhere in the Amazon, a bird you've never heard of is singing right now. 🎶🐦
On Global Big Day, our teams at Amazon Conservation's biological stations documented 450 unique bird species — more than a third of every species recorded in Peru that single day. From the cloud forests of Wayqecha to the river terraces of Los Amigos, the Amazon's biodiversity spoke for itself.
That's not a coincidence. That's what an intact rainforest sounds and looks like. As we count down the days until World Environment Day, let’s remember why the Amazon is irreplaceable and why we must all act .

The Amazon's greatest guardians? Indigenous women have led, protected and sustained these forests for centuries. The world is finally catching up.⏰
World Environment Day (June 5), themed Now for Climate, reminds us that time may be running out. But it hasn’t yet. At Amazon Conservation, we believe that protecting these ecosystems means investing in the people who know it best, and Indigenous women have long been at the center of that work.
Earlier this year, our sister organization in Bolivia brought that belief to life through their workshop Women Who Produce the Future: Amazon–Chiquitanía, a gathering of women producers from across the Chiquitanía region in the Bolivian Amazon. The experiences shared in this carousel came from that workshop.
Their words speak for themselves. ✊

A maned wolf. An Orinoco goose. A spider monkey. A marsh deer.🐺🦆🐒🐜
These are just a few of the more than 20 endangered species that call Bajo Madidi, Bolivia's largest conservation area, home. Bajo Madidi was established seven years ago today with support from Amazon Conservation via Conservación Amazónica - ACEAA and over 800 local stakeholders. Happy Anniversary, Bajo Madidi! 🥳
This , we'll be celebrating Bajo Madidi… and every wild place worth protecting. Swipe to learn more.

The Amazon is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. It's also one of the most watched.
For over a decade, Amazon Conservation has built the tools to help monitor almost the entire Amazon basin!
Our Monitoring of Andes Amazon Program (MAAP) initiative tracks deforestation across 9 countries covering 100% of the Amazon, using high-resolution satellite imagery and machine learning. Amazon Mining Watch uses AI and satellite data to track illegal gold mining across the Amazon. And behind both platforms is a growing network of and transfer of knowledge to Indigenous communities, local NGOs, and governments working together and exchanging knowledto protect it.
This week, on June 5, is the . This is a reminder that nature doesn't recognize borders and protecting it is a collective effort.

NEW FINDINGS: How close is the Amazon to a tipping point?
Our new white paper, "𝘒𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘭𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘙𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘍𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨: 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘋𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘈𝘮𝘢𝘻𝘰𝘯 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘙𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘶 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘉𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘢," reveals how deforestation, road expansion, and infrastructure projects across Brazil threaten the flying rivers that sustain rainfall across the Amazon.
Featuring a foreword by renowned Brazilian climate scientist Carlos Nobre, one of the leading voices warning about the risks of an Amazon tipping point, the study also highlights Critical Moisture Territories: forests essential to maintaining the Amazon’s water cycle but increasingly threatened by deforestation, fires, land grabbing, and illegal mining.
One major hotspot is the BR-319 highway corridor in western Brazil, where disruptions could weaken the forest’s ability to recycle rainfall and intensify drought across Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil itself.
The publication is available in 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵, 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗲.
