Conservation
We focus our efforts where Indigenous stewardship, biodiversity, and policy converge — protecting what works and regenerating what has been damaged.
Programs Four programs,
Four programs,
one Amazon Rainforest.
Each program runs its own scientific agenda, partner network, and funding stream. All four share the same four practices: conservation, science, outreach, and storytelling.
Four practices · in every program
Current programs
What we work on.
Stingless Bees is currently accepting donations. The other three programs are in active development with Indigenous partners.
Accepting donations Stingless Bees
Safeguarding Amazonian stingless bees through species mapping, honey analysis, female-led beekeeping, and Indigenous-led conservation and regeneration
Rights of Nature
Using science and Indigenous advocacy to recognise rights for ecosystems and species — from legal protections for stingless bees to emerging Rights of Nature frameworks across the Amazon and globally
Medicinal Gardens
Community medicinal gardens that combine traditional ecological knowledge with modern science to restore degraded land and support the first pharmacopeia in Indigenous languages
EDGE Species
Field studies and habitat protection for Evolutionarily Distinct, Globally Endangered species in the Peruvian Amazon — co-led with Ashaninka park rangers and university partners
Where we work Two countries,

Our focus areas
How we work.
Every program is built on these four practices. The programs answer what we work on; the practices describe how.
Science
We design our studies with the people who live in the forest. Modern science and traditional knowledge are integrated through Indigenous co-authorship and collaborative research
Outreach
We invest in women, youth, Indigenous leaders and scientists — building local capacity and bioeconomies that make conservation viable
Storytelling
We collaborate with photographers, filmmakers, and writers to tell the story of the Amazon truthfully and at scale.
