About
The Amazon Conservation Team® (ACT®) founded in 1996, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving South American rainforests and strengthening indigenous and local communities. ACT's vision is a future where healthy tropical forests and thriving local communities exist in harmonious relationship with each other, contributing to the well-being of the planet.
Since its origins, ACT has recognized that lasting change requires a long-term, on-the-ground commitment. Over the course of 20 years, ACT has been privileged to work with over 50 indigenous groups. Currently, ACT focuses the majority of its efforts in the northeast Amazon (particularly Suriname), the northwest Amazon (primarily Colombia), and the southeast Amazon (mainly Brazil) where we have a long history and excellent relationships with both the governments and local communities. Across its existence and manifold projects yielding a wealth of powerful achievements, ACT has maintained true to its mission and committed to maintaining a cost-effective operation.
ACT's three-pronged strategic approach to conservation, focuses on land, livelihoods, and governance. It supports our vision for the Amazon and provides a clear, unified and long-term direction for how our organization operates:
- Promote sustainable land management and protection
- Promote communities' secure and sustainable livelihoods
- Strengthen communities' governance and culture
Mission: ACT partners with indigenous and other local communities to protect tropical forests and strengthen traditional culture.
