Pledge to make a difference, together.
Amigos del Bosque is dedicated to preserving and restoring tropical rainforest and biodiversity in ways that enhance the sustainability and quality-of-life of rural forest-edge communities in the upper Mamoni River valley, a 500-person valley in the Republic of Panama that is among the Top 25 most biodiverse areas in the world.
To that end, we focus both on direct conservation (including payment for carbon sequestration, land purchase, and research & monitoring) and on investment in people and in the community (including sustainable economic opportunity, environmental & sustainability education, and enabling infrastructure). We expect to evolve based on what we see in the valley vis-a-vis rates of deforestation, biodiversity, water and air quality, and the input and feedback we receive from our neighbors.
We are an embedded, community-centric, and collaborative effort to amplify and energize the pre-existing desire to flourish with the land.
