The Amazon Conservation Team (ACT), is a non-profit organization whose mission is to preserve the Amazon Rainforest and empower it's people. The ACT has main conservation projects in Columbia and Surinam, with special projects in the rural communities of Raqchi and Queromarca (Peru), Abra Malagá Thastayoc (a rural community in the Cusco region of Peru), and The Waurá indigenous people of the Xingu region in central Brazil.

ACT's Success

• “In 2013, for the indigenous communities of the department of Caquetá, Colombia,ACT facilitated the receipt of a special disbursement from a government royalty fund to sponsor the strengthening and coordination of the tribes’ representation and the establishment of a center for indigenous leadership.

• ACT, in partnership with the Kogi Indians and the Colombian Ministry of Culture, purchased a 383-acre sacred site for the Kogi that, by decision of the Colombian Ministry of Culture, was declared a new national category of protected area, a “site of national cultural interest.”

• ACT is working with the National Parks Service of Colombia in the development of protection guidelines and contingency plans for isolated indigenous communities living within the Rió Puré and Cahuinarí National Parks in the department of Amazonas, where ACT sponsored research and overflights in 2010 and 2011 that identified the longhouse of uncontacted peoples, likely the Yuri, long believed extinct.
