Amazon Conservation has been at the forefront of conservation work in the Amazon for over 25 years. Now more than ever, there is an urgent need to protect this important natural area – both for our planet’s future as well as a healthier present for those that call the Amazon home today.
Despite its globally-acknowledged importance, unchecked deforestation is taking the Amazon closer to its “tipping point” where it will no longer be able to generate its own rainfall and support its ecosystems.
