AAC collaborates with Indigenous communities in Ecuador to re-establish critical wildlife migration corridors between the Andes mountains and the deep rainforest of the Amazon.
These bio-corridors have been blocked by a 2,000 mile long development wall at the base of the Andes, which is directly responsible for enumerable species loss in both the rainforest and in the Andes ecosystems, which together comprise a single ecological body.
Our goal is to help re-establish these wildlife migration bio-corridors, as connectivity between diverse habitats is the root remedy for rampant species loss.
Indigenous Nations are the best stewards of this globally critical ecosystem.
Our relationship-based strategy works from the ground up, one village at a time. Conservation land-use planning is designed and implemented by the Indigenous peoples who live within the migration corridors.
