The Jaguar Amazon REDD Project consists of 183.015 hectares of rainforest, located in the Peruvian Amazon, only 385 km from the historic sanctuary of Machu Picchu, the “Lost City of the Incas”. It is located less than 20 km to the side of the new inter-oceanic road that unites Brazil with the Peruvian ports. Situated among the Tahuamanu, Muymanu and Manuripe river basins, the project area is among the biologically richest places on the planet, housing more plant and animal species than most places with the same surface in the world.
The project area holds a surprising high number of jaguars -one of the highest recorded in the world- reflecting its astonishing state of conservation. This charismatic boutique project will drastically reduce deforestation and protect the habitat of endangered species. Help us to protect this unique reservoir of biodiversity and traditional cultures and to mitigate climate change.
