One Acre Project

The One Acre Project is a conservation initiative focused on protecting 70 acres of old-growth rainforest in the Peruvian Amazon. Its mission is to preserve this land to safeguard the diverse ecosystem of trees, plants, wildlife, and waterways. The project also supports a local family that lives on and maintains the land, including providing educational resources for their children. Due to increasing threats like deforestation and encroachment, the project aims to secure recurring donations, such as $20 per month, to fund conservation efforts like fencing and active oversight. The organization operates under "Fundo Sitaramaya" and emphasizes deep ecology, education, and legal recognition for the preserved area. It encourages community involvement through donations and volunteer opportunities to maintain the ecological integrity of the land
