Project Amazonas is a USA and Peruvian non-profit research, conservation, education and humanitarian-oriented organization with operations in the upper Amazon River region in the Republic of Peru. Our goals are:
1) To provide people living in remote areas of the Peruvian Amazon with a system of medical care and health education that combines modern medicine with effective traditional practices;
2) To foster conservation, biological, medical, and environmental research and activities in the Peruvian Amazon, including support for Peruvian students to work at Project Amazonas biological field stations, and to promote the intelligent and sustainable use of rainforest resources to the benefit of the people who live there; and
3) To promote public awareness and appreciation for the Amazon rainforest, both in Peru and worldwide.
Visit the Amazon with us–through this website, or in person. In learning more about the rivers, rainforests, plants, animals and people that are part of this vast and globally-important ecosystem, we hope that you will be inspired and stimulated to make a positive difference in the Amazon and also in your own corner of the world.
