Endangered mostly because of habitat loss.

Asian Elephant

Threatened by forest loss and hunting for the illegal wildlife trade.

Sun Bear

Threatened by hunting for food and habitat loss.

Pileated Gibbon

Endangered because of loss of food. Its prey has been over-hunted, and it cannot live in areas without prey. Forest loss is also threatening its remaining habitat.

Dhole

Hunted for skins and bones for the illegal wildlife trade. Also at risk of habitat loss.

Mainland Clouded Leopard

It has dropped by almost a third in the last 15 years, and it├ö├ç├ľs expected to drop the same amount in the next 15. That makes it one of the most vulnerable cat species.

Fishing Cat

It├ö├ç├ľs secretive, only comes out at night, and is very difficult to find. And it is still hunted so much that it is CRITICALLY_ENDANGERED.

Sunda Pangolin

It is hunted heavily for food and eggs. And mining and dam building are destroying its habitat.

Rangers from this project confiscate more than 1,500 chainsaws a year. That's around 5 a day and each one can clear cut up to one hectare every day!

The rainforests surrounding the ValparaÔöť┼čso and Jurua Rivers contain some of the highest levels of biodiversity in the world, with 30,000 endemic plant and 42 endemic animal species. The ecoregion also has the highest mammal and bird richness recorded in the Amazon: 257 mammal and 782 bird species. The project is imperative to protecting its species diversity and freshwater networks.

Biodiversity & Ecosystems

Locals are receiving training in sustainable agricultural practices, and the project has launched a community association to assist with cassava flour and aÔöť┼żaÔöť┼č production. ValparaÔöť┼čso is also implementing new education programs and expanding regional health centres and dental clinics.

Community Development

Amazon ValparaÔöť┼čso will prevent the emissions of 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 over the first 10 years of its 30-year lifetime, validated and verified under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS). It has also achieved CCB Gold status for exceptional community benefits.

Emissions Reductions & Certifications

The jaguar is the flagship species of the area and has declined by 25% in the last 20 years due to habitat loss, trophy hunting, and illegal trade. In addition to the jaguar, Amazon ValparaÔöť┼čso protects critical habitat for at least 25 species, including the lowland tapir and short-eared dog.

Endangered Species

Southern Cardamom protects 497,000 hectares of lowland tropical rainforest in Cambodia's Cardamom Rainforest landscape. The Cardamoms are a critical part of the Indo-Burma global biodiversity hotspot ├ö├ç├┤ one of the planet's highest conservation priorities. Their forests are threatened by illegal logging for high value timber, fuel for Cambodia's garment factories, and deforestation by outsiders for land sales. The project addresses these threats by supporting communities and local government with protected area management, law enforcement, and by helping to develop alternative livelihoods that depend on forests and biodiversity.
