AMAZON WATERS

World’s Greatest Freshwaters System

The Amazon Waters Alliance brings together 29 organizations from Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, the United States, France, and Peru with the objective of maintaining the integrity and connectivity of the aquatic ecosystems of the Amazon Basin.

The Alliance was consolidated in 2023, following the merger of the Citizen Science Network for the Amazon and the Amazon Waters Initiative. Our existence is the result of years of work and extensive collaboration to understand and conserve the Amazon’s aquatic ecosystems.
