Amazon Conservation Team
Arlington, Virginia

The Amazon Conservation Team works in partnership with indigenous people conserving biodiversity, health and culture in tropical America. The Brazil Program of the Amazon Conservation Team became full-fledged in 1999 with two efforts: the successful protection of the Uwasu Rainforest Reserve, and the initiation of an biocultural mapping project for Kamayurá indigenous ancestral lands in the Xingu National Indigenous Reserve upon the direct invitation of the tribe. Since then, the Brazil Program has grown to encompass a variety of conservation projects, and they now have offices in Manaus, Macapá, and Canarana in addition to their main administrative office in Brasilia.

Amazon Watch
San Francisco, CA

Amazon Watch's mission is to work with indigenous and environmental organizations in the Amazon Basin to defend the environment and advance indigenous peoples' rights in the face of large-scale industrial development-oil and gas pipelines, power lines, roads, and other mega-projects. Brazil´s remote Amazon heartlands are currently threatened by intensive industrial development plans that include the creation of industrial waterways to transport natural resources and massive gas and hydroelectric development projects to meet Brazil´s energy demands. Amazon Watch is monitoring industrial mega-projects in the Brazilian Amazon paying particular attention to the Urucu Gas Pipeline Project, the Belo Monte Dam and the Tocantins-Araguaia Waterway, which threaten indigenous lands and forest communities with many damaging social and environmental impacts.
