The Peruvian Amazon Rainforest: A Haven for Endangered Species

The Amazon is a vast living system of forests, rivers and wildlife. Its connected landscapes help sustain biodiversity, influence rainfall and play a part in climate regulation. Explore the people, places and protection that help keep this forest standing.
The Amazon is not simply a large collection of trees. It is a living network of forests, rivers, soils, wildlife and human communities, each shaping the conditions around the others.
Connected forest helps move moisture, sustain habitats and give species room to feed, reproduce and respond to change. That is why the Amazon matters far beyond any single river, animal or patch of canopy: its strength comes from the whole system working together.
The Amazon is rarely damaged by one pressure at a time. Road expansion can open previously remote forest to clearing, illegal logging and mining. Fragmentation then divides habitats and makes the remaining forest harder to protect.
Conservation therefore cannot stop at a scenic view or a single species. It must protect connected forest landscapes and recognise the people whose lives and knowledge are tied to them.
Fund The Planet works in the Peruvian Amazon to protect endangered rainforest land for the long term. By acquiring land and securing it for conservation, We create protected nature reserves where existing forest can remain intact. This approach focuses on protecting the forest that is already there, together with the ecosystems it supports.
With a Fund The Planet membership, you can support a growing personal nature reserve in the Peruvian Amazon. Your protected area is visible in the Rainforest Explorer, where you can follow its growth over time. It is a direct, traceable way to take part in long-term rainforest protection from wherever you are.
