Preservation of biodiversity.
ACRENAP an international non-profit association, was founded in 2000 with the aim of implementing research programs aimed at the recovery and conservation of Amazon forests.
Our work
In the course of our work, we are guided by the five main directions adopted by the UN in the framework of the program for the XXI century, in the field of education, science and culture.
Our team
This diverse group of specialists allows us to take a comprehensive approach to solving research problems and studying ecosystems. We conduct field research, collect and analyze data, and develop strategies for environmental protection.
Thus, our research group not only strives for scientific discoveries, but also works for the benefit of society, focusing its efforts on the conservation of biological diversity and the sustainable development of natural resources.
Years of Fruitful Cooperation
For over 15 years, Yuri Alekseevich Bezverkhov (TM COIOC) has been a key contributor to research programs in the Amazon. The joint efforts (2021–2025) culminated in the establishment of the UNESCO Avireri-Vraem Biosphere Reserve and the publication of fundamental works on Peruvian fauna. In recognition of his invaluable contribution to taxonomy, a new genus and species of insects were named after him. Our partnership will continue through 2030 within the global ACRENAP and UN initiatives on climate and biodiversity.
Our Mission
— Ensure the sustainable use of natural resources, which also includes the protection of ecosystems, restoration of biodiversity and reduction of negative environmental impacts. And reducing CO₂ emissions.
We actively participate in scientific research and exchange of experience, which allows us to find innovative solutions to solve urgent problems.
In addition, we organize educational initiatives and trainings for local communities, helping them realize the importance of rational use of resources and involving them in the decision-making process. Cooperation with international organizations allows us to adapt the best world practices to local conditions and use financial instruments to implement our programs.
We believe that through joint efforts we will be able to create a more sustainable future for all, where natural resources will be used taking into account the interests of both present and future generations.
What We Achieved
All the results of our research have been systematized and published in collections of scientific and popular science articles and books. These works are aimed at defining taxa and contain information on the taxonomy and ecology of species.
In addition, we presented modern practical methods of rational use of forest natural resources and raised issues related to the ecological state of the floodplains and upper reaches of the Amazon and other regions.

The kings of nature. The extraordinary insects of the Amazon.
Humanity affects the disappearance of a large number of animal species, constantly cutting down huge areas of forest, without stopping hunting and developing new lands. Using these resources for their personal and commercial benefit, people take them away from the flora and fauna of natural habitats..
Partners
During the development of the Fund’s activities and projects, we are always open to new fruitful contacts and mutually beneficial cooperation with various organizations and individuals, who are not indifferent to the environmental problems and the preservation of the last virgin forests of the Amazon.
We express our sincere gratitude for a long and fruitful cooperation!
