About us
We’re an international team of passionate, creative people dedicated to implementing social change and solutions. While we are a diverse team, we all share:
A love for nature
A belief that humanity has the resources needed to solve our most intractable problems
A commitment to collaboration, critical thinking, and questioning our most basic assumptions
We unite investors, philanthropists, corporate buyers and allies to shift the economics in the Amazon rainforest region away from deforestation. We've mobilized over $50 million to date, and are at the leading edge of helping to ensure that the forest is worth more alive and standing, than cut and burned.
