This is an example of private action for rainforest conservation.

Johan Eliasch, a Swedish billionaire, bought around 400,000 acres of the Amazon by acquiring the company that held logging rights. He immediately stopped all logging operations, allowing the forest to remain intact and continue absorbing carbon, supporting biodiversity, and maintaining its vital ecosystem functions.

The initiative highlights how private ownership can directly contribute to environmental protection.
It also demonstrates the potential of leveraging corporate acquisitions for conservation goals rather than profit.

By preserving large swaths of rainforest, Eliasch helps safeguard endangered species, regulate local climate, and combat deforestation on a significant scale.
This approach shows that individual action, when strategically applied, can have a lasting positive impact on global ecosystems.

The project stands as a model of proactive environmental stewardship in the fight against deforestation.

We nod our head in THANKS to everyone who follows, visits and supports us. The accomplishment of the Welcome Center (to be fully completed mid-January) building is a direct result of the community believing in our vision and mission. We are excited to be on site and meet everyone in person, finally! Great things are planned in programs and events.
Some sad news to report is that a few grants we thought would come through for the Welcome Center did not. That leaves us with $160,000 to raise. If you'd like to help us, feel free to make your donation. Here's the link: www.theconservancy.org/ways-to-help

Let Susan know your donation is for the Welcome Center balance by sending an email to her: susan@theconservancy.org
See you, in person, in 2026! Take care and be safe!
