Amazon Conservation

| Meet the 𝗠𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗻, also known by 𝗽𝗮𝘃𝗮 𝗺𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗻 (𝘔𝘪𝘵𝘶 𝘵𝘶𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘶𝘮), in Spanish, one of the most emblematic birds of the Bolivian Amazon.

Known for its large size, glossy dark plumage with bluish tones, and elegant walk through the forest, this elusive species plays a key role as a seed disperser, helping regenerate Amazonian forests. Its presence is often a sign of healthy, well-conserved ecosystems.

Although shy and difficult to spot, our sister organization camera traps allowed them to capture rare moments like this one, offering a glimpse into the hidden wildlife of the Amazon. This species is part of the wildlife they monitor through camera traps installed in protected areas and Indigenous territories across the Bolivian Amazon.

Today is the International Day of Hope. The climate crisis can often feel overwhelming. Optimism is not ignoring the challenges we face, but rather choosing to act despite them.

As climate change intensifies, the Amazon remains one of our greatest allies.

We invited Daniel from our sister organizations Conservación Amazónica– ACEAA and Corine from Conservación Amazónica - ACCA to answer a simple but powerful question:

What is your hope for the future of the Amazon?

| Curious, social, and almost always on the move, the 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲-𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗲𝗰𝗰𝗮𝗿𝘆 (𝘛𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶 𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘪) is rarely seen alone.

These animals travel through the Amazon in large herds, communicating constantly as they search for food across the forest. Their strong social behavior and need for large, connected habitats make them an important indicator of healthy ecosystems.

Captured by the camera traps of our sister organization , this moment offers a rare look at one of the Amazon’s most fascinating forest travelers.

The Amazon doesn't just hold water, it moves it. 🌊

Invisible atmospheric flows known as flying rivers carry moisture from the tropical Atlantic across the entire Amazon Basin, delivering over 70% of the annual rainfall that sustains forests, farms, and communities in Peru and Bolivia. But deforestation along their path, particularly in Brazil, is putting this system at risk, with consequences that reach far beyond Brazil's borders.

In this first video in our series on Flying Rivers, based on Amazon Conservation's recently published white paper, Corine Vriesendorp from walks us through the threats facing this invisible but essential system and why protecting the Amazon's forests means protecting water.

This , we're reminded that the Amazon's fate is everyone's responsibility.
