We are a non-profit Peruvian association founded in 2010 in Madre de Dios.
We manage and take care of 916 hectares of Amazon rainforest (2264 acres) in the Las Piedras River basin, Madre de Dios. The organization is led by women and its purpose is to implement forest conservation actions involving civil society and the private sector.

Why protect the ARBIO forest?

1.

Because the area has been declared a Fragile Ecosystem, meaning it has high conservation value due to the richness in species and ecosystemic services it provides.

2.

Our rainforest houses trees of well over a thousand years of age, natural monuments that are the basis of the balance of the ecosystem.

3.

Conservating the living forests and stopping the deforestation and degradation of primary forests is the main action to take against the climate crisis we’re facing (since they provide more than 50% of GHG in Perú)

What have we achieved?

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your work, Tatiana. I think we can help on different fronts and I hope that someday we'll be able to say we turned this situation around!
