Mission and programs · 2024

• PROTECTING WILD PLACES - AMAZON CONSERVATION PROTECTS CRITICAL ECOSYSTEMS AND BIODIVERSITY ACROSS THE AMAZON BASIN BY HELPING CREATE, MANAGE, AND CONSERVE INDIGENOUS TERRITORIES AND PROTECTED AREAS; ENSURING LANDSCAPE CONNECTIVITY ESSENTIAL FOR SPECIES SURVIVAL AND CLIMATE ADAPTATION; AND DIRECTLY ADDRESSING THREATS. TO DATE, OUR ALLIANCE HAS SUPPORTED THE CREATION OF 42 CONSERVATION AREAS PROTECTING MORE THAN 10.5 MILLION ACRES OF IRREPLACEABLE ECOSYSTEMS ACROSS PERU AND BOLIVIA. IN ADDITION, THROUGH OUR MONITORING OF THE ANDES AMAZON PROGRAM (MAAP) AND A NETWORK OF LOCAL PARTNERS ACROSS THE REGION, WE HELP MONITOR AND PROTECT THE GREATER AMAZON BASIN BY EMPLOYING STATE-OF-THE-ART SATELLITE IMAGERY, DRONES, MACHINE LEARNING, AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES TO DETECT IN REAL TIME AND COMBAT ILLEGAL DEFORESTATION FROM MINING, LOGGING, RANCHING, AND AGRICULTURAL CLEARING ACROSS A RANGE OF PROTECTED AREAS AND INDIGENOUS TERRITORIES IN BOLIVIA, BRAZIL, COLOMBIA, ECUADOR, AND PERU.

• PUTTING SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY TO WORK - AMAZON CONSERVATION DEVELOPS INNOVATIVE CONSERVATION SOLUTIONS USING CUTTING-EDGE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY. OUR ALLIANCE SISTER ORGANIZATIONS OPERATE WORLD-CLASS BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH STATIONS IN PERU AND BOLIVIA WHICH SERVE AS LIVING LABORATORIES TO CARRY OUT AND HOST ROBUST SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, FACILITATING LEARNING AND EDUCATION OF THE NEXT GENERATION OF SCIENTISTS AND CONSERVATIONISTS. BEYOND PIONEERING REAL-TIME FOREST CRIME DETECTION AND MONITORING, AMAZON CONSERVATION'S MAAP INTEGRATES THE LATEST ADVANCES IN SATELLITE-BASED TECHNOLOGIES, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, AND MACHINE LEARNING TO PROVIDE REGIONAL INTELLIGENCE ON AMAZON-WIDE THREATS. MAAP ALSO PROVIDES GOVERNMENTS AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY WITH CRITICAL MONITORING, ANALYSIS, AND POLICY SUPPORT ON ROADS, FIRES, CARBON, CLIMATE, AND OTHER MAJOR THEMES SO THAT THEY CAN TAKE INFORMED ACTION TO AVOID REACHING THE AMAZON'S TIPPING POINT. FURTHER BIODIVERSITY HEALTH MONITORING IS SUPPORTED BY THE TROPICS' LARGEST CAMERA TRAP GRID IN BOLIVIA AND PERU; AN INNOVATIVE AMAZONIAN FRUITS AND CLIMATE CHANGE OBSERVATORY THAT PROVIDES LOCAL PRODUCERS AND DECISION-MAKERS IN BOLIVIA WITH DATA ON SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION FROM THEIR FORESTS; AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF MONITORING PLATFORMS THAT ENABLE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES, CIVIL SOCIETY, AND GOVERNMENTS TO DETECT AND RESPOND TO FOREST CRIMES WITHIN MOMENTS, RATHER THAN YEARS, FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMING FOREST PROTECTION EFFORTS ACROSS THE BASIN.

• EMPOWERING PEOPLE - AMAZON CONSERVATION EMPOWERS LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND INDIGENOUS PEOPLES THROUGH OUR COLLECTIVE EFFORTS TO BUILD A SUSTAINABLE FOREST-BASED ECONOMY THAT FUELS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND CLIMATE RESILIENCE FOR THE REGION. ALONG WITH THESE LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS, WE WORK CLOSELY WITH COMMUNITIES AND CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE THE TOOLS NEEDED TO STOP DEFORESTATION, ESPECIALLY ILLEGAL DEFORESTATION, TO ENSURE THE LONG-TERM PROTECTION OF THEIR NATURAL RESOURCES. WITH SUPPORT FROM SEVERAL INSTITUTIONS AND INDIVIDUALS SINCE OUR INCEPTION 25 YEARS AGO, AMAZON CONSERVATION AND OUR ALLIANCE SISTER ORGANIZATIONS IN PERU AND BOLIVIA HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS TOWARD ESTABLISHING A SUSTAINABLE, CLIMATE-RESILIENT, FOREST-BASED ECONOMY ACROSS 37 MILLION ACRES IN THE AMAZON. BY SUPPORTING DOZENS OF PRODUCER ASSOCIATIONS IN SCALING UP THE SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION, PROCESSING, MARKETING, AND SALES OF MAJOR FOREST PRODUCTS LIKE AA BERRIES AND BRAZIL NUTS, WE CREATE ECONOMICALLY VIABLE ALTERNATIVES TO DESTRUCTIVE PRACTICES LIKE SLASH-AND-BURN AGRICULTURE AND MINING. WE CONTINUE TO DEEPEN THIS WORK THROUGH DIVERSIFYING PRODUCTION WITH OTHER FOREST-BASED PRODUCTS, CREATING NEW MARKET CONNECTIONS, AND EXPANDING TO OTHER REGIONS, INCLUDING THE NEIGHBORING STATE OF ACRE IN BRAZIL.PRESENTLY IN FIVE COUNTRIES ACROSS THE AMAZON, WE WORK DIRECTLY WITH COMMUNITIES, FELLOW CONSERVATION ORGANIZATIONS, INDIGENOUS GROUPS, AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO PROTECT THEIR LANDS AND NATURAL RESOURCES. WITH A FOCUS ON HALTING ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES, WE PROVIDE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, CIVIL SOCIETY, AND GOVERNMENTS WITH REAL-TIME INFORMATION ON DEFORESTATION CAUSED BY ILLEGAL GOLD MINING, LOGGING, AND OTHER DRIVERS. IN ORDER TO ENABLE RAPID AND EFFECTIVE RESPONSES, WE ARE BUILDING THE CAPACITY ACROSS A COALITION OF LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITIES TO TAKE ACTION, ENGAGE GOVERNMENT, AND ADVOCATE FOR IMPROVED POLICIES AND PROTECTION OF THE REGION'S FORESTS AND WATERS.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
