In a world beset with deforestation driven by global overconsumption, shifting climate, and extinction of species, the challenges may seem overwhelming, if insurmountable, at times. How can one individual or one organization make a difference? By donating to Acaté, you make your voice heard and you take the fight back to the forests where the indigenous peoples are locked in a perilous struggle for the inextricable fate of these incredible ecosystems and their own destiny.
The indigenous peoples of the Amazon are at precipice – the time is now – as their fates will be defined by our generation. Your support is critical. Logging companies and petroleum firms are not encumbered with a lack of funding. They are successful because they have vast resources backing up their exploitative, but unfortunately, highly profitable ventures.

It is through the power of your associations that we can achieve awareness and enduring success in the protection of these extraordinary people and their forests.
