ACTION MAPPING
Contributing to the conservation of over 25 million hectares - and growing...
​
This map showcases the territorial units and landscape connectivity that Aktion Amazonas supports, made possible through collective action and strong local leadership.​ ​Since 2014, we have partnered with organisations in Bolivia, Brazil and Peru to conserve key landscapes across the central-western Amazon, the Chiquitano Dry Forest and the Pantanal wetland region. To date, we have supported efforts in 17 territorial units, contributing to the conservation of more than 25 million hectares of forest, savanna, and wetland ecosystems, while strengthening ecological connectivity across 12+ million hectares - and growing.
The map will be available soon...

TERRITORIES & CONNECTIVITY
​​
​
Our approach to conserving the Amazon and surrounding forest ecosystems is grounded in the principle that lasting protection depends on landscape connectivity. Isolated forest fragments cannot sustain biodiversity, ecosystem functions, or resilient communities over time.​ To secure landscape connectivity, we support the establishment, protection, and sustainable management of Territorial Units, linking these areas across national borders by promoting sustainable land use across intervening landscapes.
​
Looking ahead, we aim to expand our connectivity portfolio by adding strategic sites in northern Peru and the Colombian Amazon by 2029.
The territorial units represent more than physical landscapes - they function as models for resilient communities and sustainable nature-based solutions to climate change, protecting biodiversity while addressing poverty. They demonstrate that alternative development pathways are possible - ones that safeguard nature rather than degrade it.
