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.

Aves y Conservación​ (AyC), an Ecuadorian non-profit founded 33 years ago, is dedicated to the research and conservation of birds and their habitats, acting always to benefit local people and with their active participation. To fulfil its mission, AyC promotes sustained research processes on birds and other associated flora y fauna. AyC strongly believes in supporting local communities to empower themselves in the defence of nature and the generation of livelihoods compatible with conservation.
