Foundation Amazon Conservation Team Suriname

ACT believes that the survival of the forest depends on the fate of its guardians. The forest and its peoples are both as important to protect. For a forest to survive and thrive, it needs biological diversity, clean and abundant water, and large stretches of connected lands. For the guardians to be healthy, they need not only basic things such as food, water, and medicine, but also security and stability. Self-determination and strong traditional cultures allow forest people to flourish and protect their lands. To reach the above- long term partnerships are established with Indigenous and tribal peoples and a program conducted along the strategies of: 1. Land Management 2. Livelihoods and 3. Governance.
