Amazon Biodiversity Fund is a $50M fund dedicated to financing sustainable businesses in Brazil’s Amazon region that create jobs and preserve standing forests, in turn avoiding substantial carbon emissions while sustaining livelihoods. Managed by Impact Earth, Amazon Biodiversity Fund pursues early stage and venture investments in enterprises that focus on the more than 700,000 smallholder farmers and their families in the Brazilian Amazon region. It encourages the sustainable production of non-timber crops including coffee, cocoa, and other indigenous local plants.
