Detail:
Amazon Conservation Team (ACT) - Mark Plotkin, an ethnobotonist, and Liliana Madrigal, a conservationist and crusader for indigenous rights, created ACT in 1996 to preserve the cultures of the indigenous peoples of the Amazon and develop their capacity to provide enduring protection of their rainforest home. Mark and Liliana have shown that, given the opportunity and training, indigenous people are the most reliable stewards of their own territory. Since its inception, ACT has mapped and provided land management for 40 million acres of Amazon rainforest and anticipates reaching 80 million acres in three years. Its programs have benefited 26 indigenous groups across Brazil, Columbia and Suriname. ACT is headquartered in Arlington, VA.
