Context
Restoring degraded land in the Amazon depends on a reliable supply of native seeds and seedlings, and on the people who collect, grow and plant them. Amazon Roots, founded in 2020, works on that chain: it collects and stores native seeds, grows seedlings in its own nursery and works with rural residents’ associations on seed collection.
The initiative also creates work for local collaborators, including women from low-income backgrounds, and supports families in vulnerable situations.
World Funding’s role
World Funding featured Amazon Roots on its platform as one of the restoration initiatives it presented to an international audience, and its archive holds the initiative’s field and drone photographs from 2022.
The figures on this page describe that period. The current nature of World Funding’s relationship with the initiative is being confirmed.
