Andes Amazon Fund
The Andes Amazon Fund (AAF) is a multi-donor grant-making initiative that supports the conservation of the Andes-Amazon of Peru and surrounding countries through the designation and effective management of protected areas and indigenous reserves. The Amazon headwaters are home to diverse ecosystems that are critical to global climate systems. AAF deploys three strategies that focus on both the short- and long-term: a) to establish new, legally-recognized protected areas and indigenous lands, b) to consolidate ongoing management for target areas, and c) to secure financing for the management of these areas. Since 2015, AAF has helped to protect over 6.6 million acres of land and aims to protect an additional 9.6 million acres in the region by the end of 2018.

The Provincial System of Conservation and Sustainable Use Areas of Pichincha (known locally as “SPACUS-P”) is not just a network of conservation areas—it is a province-wide management system in practice. By integrating governance, planning, and community participation, Pichincha is managing its ecosystems as a connected territory, which supports long-term sustainability for both nature and people.
What this management support makes possible:
⛰️ Coordinated management across four interconnected landscapes
🐆 Protection of key species through habitat connectivity and monitoring
💧 Secured watersheds that sustain communities and regional water cycles
