Amazon Conservation: https://www.amazonconservation.org/
They implement direct conservation solutions across 124 million acres of the Bolivian and Peruvian Amazons, the most biodiverse place on Earth. Larger than the state of California, this region contains a distinct set of interconnected iconic landscapes whose unique characteristics shape how we deploy our approach in each place.
