Amazon Alliance is an initiative born out of the partnership between indigenous and traditional peoples of the Amazon and groups and individuals who share their concerns for the future of the Amazon and its peoples.

Amazon Conservation Team Executive Director is Mark Plotkin, Ph.D., Ethnobotinist and author of Tales of the Shaman's Apprentice. The group works to conserve the Amazonian rainforest and knowledge of the indigenous shaman.

Amazon International was formed and developed to help preserve Brazilian resources in an environmentally sound manner, benefiting the people of Brazil and the world.

Amazon Watch works with indigenous and environmental organizations in the Amazon Basin to defend the environment and advance indigenous people's rights in the face of large-scale industrial development.

Center For World Indigenous Studies believes access to knowledge and peoples' ideas reduces the possibility of conflict.

Pachamama
The Pachamama Alliance is a San Francisco- based nonprofit organization that was born out of a relationship developed between a group of people from the modern world and the leaders of remote indigenous groups in the Amazon region of Ecuador. This relationship was actually initiated by the indigenous elders and shamans themselves who, out of their deep concern for the growing threat to their ancient way of life, and their recognition that the roots of this threat lay far beyond their rainforest home, actively sought the partnership of committed individuals living in the modern world.
