From vision

From vision
to action
Forest conservation doesn't happen through a single action or from a single sector. It works when conditions are activated in a coordinated way, enabling communities to live off the land without degrading it. At Amanatari, we work with Indigenous and local communities to connect science, the economy, and well-being, generating real incentives that make sustainable conservation possible over time.
Communities are at the center. Our role is to activate and connect these dimensions according to each context and landscape, strengthening what does not yet exist and enhancing what is already underway.
Each territory has different dynamics, capabilities, and challenges. That's why at Amanatari we intervene strategically, activating three major lines of work that complement each other.
Science is key to generating evidence, strengthening decision-making, and improving production processes linked to biobusinesses.
At Amanatari, we promote applied research in partnership with universities, research centers, and strategic allies, working directly with Indigenous and local communities.
Our work focuses on understanding the origin, traceability, and value of Amazonian non-timber resources. We generate scientific evidence on their impact on biodiversity conservation and the livelihoods of communities.
We support and strengthen production and organizational processes under technical and environmental standards, connecting ancestral knowledge with international-level science.
The evidence gathered allows for the development of culturally relevant, replicable, and sustainable models over time.
The forest is conserved when it generates real value for the communities that depend on it.
At Amanatari, we promote bio-businesses based on the sustainable use of biodiversity by Indigenous and local communities, supporting production processes that respect the land and strengthen their economies.
Our work focuses on developing and strengthening sustainable value chains, improving production and processing methods, and connecting communities with responsible business partners and markets.
Validating origin and ensuring product traceability are key to guaranteeing that income comes from the standing forest and contributes to its long-term conservation.

We promote the sustainable management of aguaje, the most abundant wild fruit in the Amazon, by developing value chains that incorporate traceability, applied science, and access to responsible markets.
These initiatives are progressing in different stages and are part of a dynamic portfolio that evolves alongside the communities and the land.
Well-being
and enabling conditions
Production and conservation processes are deeply connected to the context in which they occur.
For them to be sustainable over time, they require enabling social, technical, and organizational conditions.
At Amanatari, we work to strengthen these enabling conditions so that initiatives generate holistic well-being in communities and can be sustained beyond external support.
These dimensions translate into concrete conditions such as community organization, cultural relevance, rights, infrastructure, partnerships, production and innovation, access to financing, and the empowerment of women and youth.
When these conditions are present, bio-businesses can grow, generate sustainable income, and reduce pressure on the forest, making long-term conservation possible.
For Amanatari, conservation is neither an imposition nor a sacrifice.
It is the result of processes that generate well-being and real opportunities for communities.
When enabling conditions exist—such as sustainable income, organizational strengthening, and access to basic services—caring for the forest becomes a viable alternative for sustainable and culturally relevant development.
That is the impact we seek to build together with the communities and our partners.
