One of the few organizations able to really work with local people to achieve outcomes good for people and the planet. A big lesson to the big NGOs about size - its not only how you use it but actually bigger is more likely to hurt!

A truly first-class organization with defined goals, a clear strategy to achieving these goals, a staff that far exceeds even the highest of expectations, and a cause that is vitally important to the world's children and future. Anyone involved with environmental causes should consider this great organization.

The Amazon Conservation Team packs a passionate punch. They operate out of shoebox near DC, but their drive, dedication, and deeply held relationships make them a powerful and effective nonprofit. ACT also does something no one else will -- they are on the ground in Columbia working directly with indigenous people. While they understand, intellectually, the connection between protecting land and preserving culture and limiting climate change, they are not afraid to -- physically -- get their hands dirty for the benefit of the world.
