IMPACT THROUGH PHILANTHROPY

As a leader in Amazon conservation, ACEER depends on the generosity of our supporters to drive meaningful, lasting impact in the region.

To continue creating transformative change, we seek visionary supporters like you to invest in bold, community-centered strategies, foster innovative educational programs, and expand proven initiatives that empower local leaders and protect Amazonian ecosystems. Your support is crucial in advancing sustainable solutions for one of the world’s most vital and irreplaceable landscapes.

WHY CHOOSE ACEER?

By supporting the Amazon Center for Environmental Education and Research (ACEER), you join a powerful movement committed to safeguarding one of the world’s most critical ecosystems—the Amazon rainforest. Since our founding in 1991, ACEER has been a pioneering force in Amazon conservation, focusing on developing both local and global leaders who are equipped to protect and restore the Amazon Basin’s rich biodiversity and cultural heritage.

With a 33-year legacy of impactful conservation work, ACEER has led groundbreaking initiatives in the region. We were early innovators in using canopy walkways to support scientific research in the Amazon, providing researchers with new perspectives and access to understudied ecosystems. These efforts have led to the discovery of previously unknown plant and animal species and paved the way for important advancements in ethnobotany, including the identification of potential new medicines in our renowned ethnobotanical gardens.

Today, ACEER’s influence reaches far beyond the Amazon. Through immersive experiential learning programs, we inspire people from all over the world to become active stewards of the environment. Our educational initiatives have touched more than a million people globally, fostering a deep connection to the Amazon and empowering communities to drive change from within.

When you choose to support ACEER, you’re not just helping to protect an ecosystem—you’re empowering people, from indigenous communities to global advocates, to create sustainable solutions that will preserve the Amazon’s treasures for generations to come. Every contribution helps us expand our programs, advance conservation research, and develop new environmental leaders, making a meaningful impact that resonates worldwide.
