In a world increasingly transformed by the hands of humans, this project protects a rare expanse of untouched forest the size of the US state of Connecticut, known as the 'jewel of the Peruvian Amazon'. Help keep this precious forest standing.

Mountainous cloud forests, lush Amazon lowlands, sparkling blue lagoons, and rich biodiversity have earned Cordillera Azul National Park the title of ├ö├ç┼Ťjewel of the Peruvian Amazon'. It is home to unique habitats, some virtually untouched by man, and to an estimated 6,000 plant species, more than 80 mammals, about 180 fish species, and over 600 bird species.  Although protected, the park is at risk of deforestation from nearby communities dependent on its resources. The project creates alternative, sustainable livelihoods for them, protects more than 1.35 million hectares in a wider landscape of 2.3 million hectares, and prevents the emissions of more than 15 million tonnes of CO2.
