    About Us

Amazonas Conservation Initiative Peru

The Amazonas Conservation Initiative is a collaborative project with Peruvian conservation organizations and eco-tourist companies who are committed to the protection of the rainforest and honoring the traditions of indigenous people.

We are scientists, conservationists, adventurers, photographers and, yes, like yourself... on a Journey.

Thank You for your Support.
