Amazon Conservation Association The Amazon Conservation Association is proud to announce that we were able to help establish the first Conservation Concession ever managed by a local indigenous group in Peru!

The Huachipaire Haramba Queros Ecological Reserve protects 6,976 hectares (17,238 acres) of highly biodiverse forest located in the Amazonian rainforest of eastern Peru.

The signing ceremony took place in Lima Peru on July 2, 2008 with Haramba Queros leaders, representatives of Peru’s Natural Resource Agency (INRENA), and members of the NGOs that brokered the agreement, the Amazon Conservation Association (ACA) and its Peruvian sister organization, Asociación para la Conservación de la Cuenca Amazónica (ACCA).
