PROTECT RAIN FORESTS               
 We proudly present AMAZONICA's very first travel brochure!
This is the next big step in our decade-long history. Finally, the AMAZONICA Academy is open to all visitors and able to offer our indigenous partners a stage for presenting themselves as professional hosts with their own tourism enterprises.

Our charitable organizations, INDIO-HILFE, the AMAZONICA Foundation, and the AMAZONICA Academy have jointly reached an important milestone. In 1999, leaders of the Shuar and Achuar ethnic groups in the Amazon Basin of Ecuador told us:

"We want our young people to have a healthy future on our own territory. Education, income, conservation of nature, and cultural retention are important to us. For this, we need allies."

That has been AMAZONICA's task and this vision has been shared with the Shuar and Achuar. For 15 years, we developed and tested "the model for modern living and working in the forest" in pilot projects. Community development, the AMAZONICA Academy, and
the opportunity for you to visit this innovative project are all significant milestones throughout our shared journey.

No matter what brings you to us, you will have exceptional and unique experiences; tropical forest ecosystems with mountain and river landscapes, indigenous peoples living in their own territories, regional culture and hospitality, international academic teaching and research, entrepreneurship with sustainable benefits for all – space, calm, harmony, and relaxation.

The jungle, the Shuar, the Achuar, and AMAZONICA welcome you to be a part of this. 
Go from reading this brochure to visiting some of the most unique regions on our
beautiful Earth.

WHAT ARE RAIN FORESTS?

What are rain forests  Rainforests  are  forests  characterized by high  rainfall , with annual rainfall in the case of  tropical rainforests  between 250 and 450 centimetres (98 and 177 in), [1]  and definitions varying by region for  temperate rainforests . The  monsoon trough , alternatively known as the  intertropical convergence zone , plays a significant role in creating the climatic conditions necessary for the  Earth 's tropical rainforests. Around 40% to 75% of all biotic  species  are  indigenous  to the rainforests. [2]  It has been estimated that there may be many millions of species of plants, insects and  microorganisms  still undiscovered in tropical rainforests. Tropical rainforests have been called the "jewels of the Earth" and the " world's largest pharmacy ", because over one quarter of natural  medicines  have been discovered there. [3]  Rainforests are also responsible for 28% of the world's  oxygen  turnover, sometimes misname

Importance of rain forests

WHY ARE RAIN FORESTS IMPORTANT?                 Flying over the heart of the Amazon is like flying over an ocean of green: an expanse of trees broken only by rivers. Even more amazing than their size is the role the Amazon and other rainforests around the world play in our everyday lives. While rainforests may seem like a distant concern, these ecosystems are critically important for our well-being. Rainforests are often called the lungs of the planet for their role in absorbing carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, and producing oxygen, upon which all animals depend for survival. Rainforests also stabilize climate, house incredible amounts of plants and wildlife, and produce nourishing rainfall all around the planet. Some of the most important trees in the world live in rainforests. Even though the nearest  rainforest  may be a long ways away from you, you still benefit from rainforests every day. Tropical  rainforests feature a wide variety of tall trees,  divers
