ACAโs directors and staff are experienced ecologists and conservationists who work to protect biodiversity by studying ecosystems and developing innovative conservation tools to protect land in the region while supporting the livelihoods of local communities. Concentrating resources in the field, ACA aims to protect the forests by creating a network of state, community, and private lands managed f
The Amazon doesn't just hold water, it moves it. ๐
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.

NEW FINDINGS: How close is the Amazon to a tipping point?
Our new white paper, "๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ญ๐บ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ช๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด ๐๐ญ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ: ๐๐ฐ๐ธ ๐๐ฆ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ณ๐ข๐ป๐ช๐ญ๐ช๐ข๐ฏ ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ป๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐๐ฉ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ด ๐๐ข๐ช๐ฏ๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ญ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ถ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐ฐ๐ญ๐ช๐ท๐ช๐ข," reveals how deforestation, road expansion, and infrastructure projects across Brazil threaten the flying rivers that sustain rainfall across the Amazon.
Featuring a foreword by renowned Brazilian climate scientist Carlos Nobre, one of the leading voices warning about the risks of an Amazon tipping point, the study also highlights Critical Moisture Territories: forests essential to maintaining the Amazonโs water cycle but increasingly threatened by deforestation, fires, land grabbing, and illegal mining.
One major hotspot is the BR-319 highway corridor in western Brazil, where disruptions could weaken the forestโs ability to recycle rainfall and intensify drought across Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil itself.
