Take care of the people who take care of the forest!

The Foundation for Amazon Sustainability (FAS) is a socio-environmental organization with a strong Amazonian identity. Since 2008, FAS has been implementing programs and projects aimed at conserving the rainforest and improving the quality of life of local populations. We connect remote territories and communities across the Amazon with national and international partners in pursuit of a sustainable future for the region. With more than 17 years of presence and experience, FAS has generated significant positive impacts across the Amazon.

FAS made things happen, brought various projects and knowledge to the community. Working in community-based tourism was an opportunity that changed my life. Not just mine, but my whole family's.

A FAS me ensinou sobre comunicação. Trouxe apoio à minha família e comunidade. Isso mudou minha trajetória, minha vida. Hoje sou comunicadora e também falo pela floresta.
