Learn how we work

Our Approach

At Amanatari we work to ensure the standing forest generates true value by connecting ancestral knowledge, applied research and access to sustainable economic opportunities.

When communities can generate income from the standing forest, conservation becomes an opportunity for development.

Our focus integrates scientific knowledge, strengthening production and enabling conditions; creating the incentives for long-term conservation.

Biodiversity matters

One of the largest biological and cultural diversity regions on the planet.

Key to climate

Regulates climate and water cycles at a regional level.

Forests and peat bogs

Large-scale natural carbon reserves.

Amazonian hydrological heart

Where rivers originate and flow across borders.

Opportunity for sustainable models

Lower levels of industrial pressure create space to develop responsible, nature-based economic alternatives.

High social need

Conservation needs to also generate wellbeing.

Why start in Loreto?

Loreto is one of the most biologically and culturally diverse regions on the planet, and its rainforest holds the key to maintaining the global climate equilibrium.

At the same time, Loreto faces deep social development gaps and increasing pressure on its natural resources.

This intersection between ecological value, cultural richness and social urgency makes Loreto a strategic territory for promoting community-led models for sustainable development.
