Acción Andina is a Latin-American led, large-scale, forest restoration initiative, which aims to restore one million hectares of threatened high Andean, Polylepis forest in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela over the next 25 years. Internationally supported by non-profits Global Forest Generation and ECOAN, local conservation organizations partner with rural and indigenous communities to bring back native forests, mainly for water security and climate resilience.
Conservación Amazónica (ACCA) is a Peruvian non-profit organization founded in 1999, working at the confluence of the Andes and the Amazon. Its focus is in the field, training future conservationists, partnering with local communities, developing new scientific strategies to achieve its goals of preventing damage to ecosystems, and achieving sustainable management and use of natural resources in the most diverse ecosystem on the planet.
Global Forest Generation ( GFG), founded in 2018 as a US-based non-profit, is the lead strategic partner of Acción Andina and provides technical, management and finance mobilization support to bring the initiative to scale. GFG serves as the main partner for donors, investors and the conservation and development community: it insures quality, long-term sustainability, and effective implementation during all project phases and also provides key communication and reporting capacities.
