A quarter century since our founding, ACT is addressing a broader range of issues, greater in complexity and harder to shoulder. ACT’s 2017-2020 Strategic Plan laid the groundwork for this current version’s strategies and scope of work. Before the previous plan’s period ended, two back-to-back crises changed the face of the Amazon forever: the 2019 Amazon wildfire season and the Covid-19 pandemic.

No one will forget the darkened skies of Sao Paulo, Porto Velho, Rio Branco, and other cities and towns across Brazil and Bolivia, an apocalyptic scene that is likely to become ever more common as the volatility of climatic conditions in the southern Amazon continues to increase. Such wildfires made the pandemic much deadlier in the Amazon due to their detrimental effects on air quality, with chronic smoke exposure causing those individuals most vulnerable to Covid-19 to have more severe forms of the infection. Among the vulnerable, indigenous peoples in South America suffered mortality rates at least 110% higher than the general population, losing community leaders and elders who are often a culture's stewards of language and traditional knowledge. 

The ongoing pandemic has ravaged the region, destroying communities and livelihoods, with its effects to be felt for generations. In the remote areas where ACT works, the virus’s path through the Amazon has laid bare the inexistence of public authority and rule of law, a vacuum that ill-intentioned actors have exploited to threaten communities and pillage the rainforest. Tropical South America, especially Colombia and Brazil, continues to be the most dangerous place for environmental defenders, leading the world in assassinations of those who seek to protect their lands from destructive forces.  

To work under such challenging conditions, ACT will need to continue increasing its nimbleness, flexibility, and adaptability, attributes that have enabled the organization to grow, scale, and respond to the current needs of communities. In the five years of the prior plan's implementation, ACT began working in three new countries and increased our number of partner indigenous peoples by more than thirty, reaching almost 90 indigenous peoples. Our programmatic strength and reach across tropical South America has been amplified, effecting sustainable change at scale and bolstering the resilience of local communities.  

It is a truism that a strategic plan becomes outdated the moment it is finished. That said, the relevance of ACT’s core strategies—governance, livelihood, and land—endures. Even in this moment of great change and uncertainty, they underpin the success of our on-the-ground efforts in some of the toughest areas on the planet.  

It is our hope that as you read ACT’s current strategic plan, you may discover optimism for the future of the rainforest and its indigenous stewards.</textarea>

            25 years ago, the Amazon Conservation Team (ACT) was founded on this reality. Since the beginning, our work has been guided by indigenous and local partners.
            
            So much has changed over our first 25 years—including us. However, one thing will always remain the same: our belief that all conservation work must prioritize the rights and well-being of indigenous and local peoples.</textarea>

STRATEGIC PLAN

EDIT TEXT

Introduction <h2 class='m-4'>Introduction</h2> A quarter century since our
founding, ACT is addressing a broader range of issues, greater in complexity and
harder to shoulder. ACT’s 2017-2020 Strategic Plan laid the groundwork for this
current version’s strategies and scope of work. Before the previous plan’s
period ended, two back-to-back crises changed the face of the Amazon forever:
the 2019 Amazon wildfire season and the Covid-19 pandemic. No one will forget
the darkened skies of Sao Paulo, Porto Velho, Rio Branco, and other cities and
towns across Brazil and Bolivia, an apocalyptic scene that is likely to become
ever more common as the volatility of climatic conditions in the southern Amazon
continues to increase. Such wildfires made the pandemic much deadlier in the
Amazon due to their detrimental effects on air quality, with chronic smoke
exposure causing those individuals most vulnerable to Covid-19 to have more
severe forms of the infection. Among the vulnerable, indigenous peoples in South
America suffered mortality rates at least 110% higher than the general
population, losing community leaders and elders who are often a culture's
stewards of language and traditional knowledge. The ongoing pandemic has ravaged
the region, destroying communities and livelihoods, with its effects to be felt
for generations. In the remote areas where ACT works, the virus’s path through
the Amazon has laid bare the inexistence of public authority and rule of law, a
vacuum that ill-intentioned actors have exploited to threaten communities and
pillage the rainforest. Tropical South America, especially Colombia and Brazil,
continues to be the most dangerous place for environmental defenders, leading
the world in assassinations of those who seek to protect their lands from
destructive forces. To work under such challenging conditions, ACT will need to
continue increasing its nimbleness, flexibility, and adaptability, attributes
that have enabled the organization to grow, scale, and respond to the current
needs of communities. In the five years of the prior plan's implementation, ACT
began working in three new countries and increased our number of partner
indigenous peoples by more than thirty, reaching almost 90 indigenous peoples.
Our programmatic strength and reach across tropical South America has been
amplified, effecting sustainable change at scale and bolstering the resilience
of local communities. It is a truism that a strategic plan becomes outdated the
moment it is finished. That said, the relevance of ACT’s core
strategies—governance, livelihood, and land—endures. Even in this moment of
great change and uncertainty, they underpin the success of our on-the-ground
efforts in some of the toughest areas on the planet. It is our hope that as you
read ACT’s current strategic plan, you may discover optimism for the future of
the rainforest and its indigenous stewards.

INTRODUCTION


A quarter century since our founding, ACT is addressing a broader range of
issues, greater in complexity and harder to shoulder. ACT’s 2017-2020 Strategic
Plan laid the groundwork for this current version’s strategies and scope of
work. Before the previous plan’s period ended, two back-to-back crises changed
the face of the Amazon forever: the 2019 Amazon wildfire season and the Covid-19
pandemic.

No one will forget the darkened skies of Sao Paulo, Porto Velho, Rio Branco, and
other cities and towns across Brazil and Bolivia, an apocalyptic scene that is
likely to become ever more common as the volatility of climatic conditions in
the southern Amazon continues to increase. Such wildfires made the pandemic much
deadlier in the Amazon due to their detrimental effects on air quality, with
chronic smoke exposure causing those individuals most vulnerable to Covid-19 to
have more severe forms of the infection. Among the vulnerable, indigenous
peoples in South America suffered mortality rates at least 110% higher than the

The ongoing pandemic has ravaged the region, destroying communities and

where ACT works, the virus’s path through the Amazon has laid bare the
inexistence of public authority and rule of law, a vacuum that ill-intentioned

Tropical South America, especially Colombia and Brazil, continues to be the most
dangerous place for environmental defenders, leading the world in assassinations
of those who seek to protect their lands from destructive forces.

To work under such challenging conditions, ACT will need to continue increasing
its nimbleness, flexibility, and adaptability, attributes that have enabled the

The knowledge and wisdom of indigenous and local peoples of the Amazon are key
to saving the rainforest.

25 years ago, the Amazon Conservation Team (ACT) was founded on this reality.
Since the beginning, our work has been guided by indigenous and local partners.

So much has changed over our first 25 years—including us. However, one thing
will always remain the same: our belief that all conservation work must
prioritize the rights and well-being of indigenous and local peoples.
