Protect the Andes-Amazon Conservation Corridor

From misty Andean ridges to the vast Amazon basin, life moves across ecosystems and elevations.

 

Jaguars roam from rainforest to mountains. Spectacled bears follow forested ridgelines. Andean eagles soar above valleys.

 

But these vital connections are at risk, and we need your help to preserve one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.

 

Your gift helps protect the 5-million-acre Andes–Amazon Conservation Corridor, — keeping forests intact, rivers flowing, and wildlife thriving.
 

Connecting Habitat Across Borders

Across borders, we’re building the bridges that keep life moving.
Each new connection strengthens the Andes–Amazon Conservation Corridor, protecting five million acres of forests and rivers that sustain life across Ecuador and Peru.

Help us reach $700,000 by December 31st — every gift doubles in impact to keep the corridor intact.

Just as the tapir depends on connected forests to survive, our planet depends on connected landscapes to thrive.

Powered by People and Partnerships

Across Ecuador and Peru, local and Indigenous communities are leading the way.
Through forest monitoring, sustainable management, and collaboration across borders, they’re protecting biodiversity and sustaining the landscapes they call home.

Your support strengthens these partnerships and ensures lasting protection for future generations.

A 5-Million-Acre Living Corridor

Already, 2.8 million acres are safeguarded — but we’re not done yet.
Your year-end gift will expand protections from the high mountain páramos to the lowland Amazon forests below.

Together, we can connect habitats, protect biodiversity, and secure clean water and carbon storage for generations to come.
