• Project description
  The 360,000 acre Los Amigos Conservation Concession is a model conservation area patrolled by local forest rangers and managed under a renewable 40-year contract to ACA’s sister organization Asociación para la Conservación de la Cuenca Amazónica (ACCA). This reserve conserves the region's world-famous biodiversity, hosts the Amazon's most active research station, and serves as a buffer for indigenous peoples who live in voluntary isolation in the vast headwaters of the Los Amigos River. As part of its strategy to conserve the watershed in perpetuity, ACA is preparing to sell avoided deforestation carbon offset credits.
