Amazonia Impact Ventures’ Co‑Founder, Pajani Singah, joins global leaders at the YPO dinner in Davos to advance discussions on impact‑linked finance and the Amazon’s climate‑critical role. AIV continues to bring community‑driven solutions into high‑level policy conversations.

At Davos 2026, Amazonia Impact Ventures shows how nature‑positive finance turns pledges into projects: 42 impact‑linked loans, 5,200 smallholder farmers supported, and 200,000+ hectares under sustainable management. Connect with Investment Director Pajani Singah to explore co‑investment and scalable, community‑led forest protection.

Amazonia Impact Ventures (AIV) recognises the partnerships strengthened in 2025 across the Amazon, supporting cooperatives and enterprises whose work protects forests and sustains livelihoods. From coffee and cacao to Brazil nuts and biodynamic agriculture, these organisations advance climate resilience, women’s leadership, and Indigenous stewardship through impact‑linked finance.

Amazonia Impact Ventures (AIV) recognises the Catalytic Climate Finance Facility for its support in accelerating the structuring of Amazonia Impact Fund I. Over two years, this grant strengthened our impact and gender frameworks, advanced fundraising toward our USD 25M goal, and helped mobilise capital for farmers and Indigenous peoples through blended finance and rigorous due diligence.

Amazonia Impact Ventures (AIV) recognises its 2025 supporters and investors, including a mid‑year capital injection from Working Capital for Community Needs (WCCN), a pioneering US social impact fund that has channelled over $160M into microfinance and services for low‑income entrepreneurs in Latin America. Their backing helps AIV expand impact‑linked loans in the Amazonian bioeconomy.

We thank the Ambassador Gavin Cook’s tenure at the British Embassy in Lima for his vision, partnership, and a deep commitment to Peru and the Amazon. His leadership on green finance and the bioeconomy strengthened bilateral cooperation and helped advance UK PACT’s £1.18 million programme supporting biobusiness, trade, and sustainable forest management. He leaves a legacy that proves diplomacy can be both strategic and profoundly human.

As 2025 comes to an end, Amazonia Impact Ventures is celebrating the people, partnerships, and moments that shaped our journey. This series of gratitude notes honours the voices and collaborations that remind us progress is never built alone.

From olive groves in Puglia to impact investing in the Amazon, AIV Advisor Mark Campanale shares a journey that blends heritage, finance and community resilience. In this candid conversation, he reflects on valuing nature, Indigenous rights, and reshaping capital through innovative models like revolving loans. His insights reveal how finance can empower communities, protect forests, and inspire a new vision for sustainable futures.

Immersed in the Andean Amazon, global and local leaders gathered to strengthen Peru’s impact investment ecosystem. From boat journeys along the Madre de Dios River to panels on conservation and finance, the event showcased how collaborative spaces can align biodiversity protection with sustainable economic growth.

Global forests are still in crisis — and the data shows precisely where ambition must rise. The Forest Declaration Assessment 2025 finds deforestation 63% above the 2030 pathway, finance flows far below pledges, restoration covering just 10.6M hectares, and livelihoods undermined by insecure rights and illegal deforestation. At Amazonia Impact Ventures, we see this as a roadmap: align capital, scale bioeconomy solutions, and empower communities to keep forests standing.

We’re at #3Space25 in London today! Come and meet Pajani Singah to learn about Amazonia Impact Ventures (AIV)’s initiatives supporting sustainable finance for the Amazon forest. We look forward to connecting with innovators, investors, experts, and business leaders throughout the programme.

Can European capital help reshape the Amazon’s future? Amazonia Impact Ventures (AIV) is pioneering financing models that link impact incentives to measurable sustainability targets, supporting 17 SMEs and ethical businesses across the region. Next week in London, Co‑founder Pajani Singah will present these solutions at the 3‑Space 2025 event, co‑hosted by Rothschild & Co, UpLink of the World Economic Forum, and Better Society Capital.

High in the Andes, the Amazon is born. As COP30 convenes in Belém, Amazonia Impact Ventures highlights the urgent need for climate finance to reach the Andean Amazon. Community‑led initiatives already protect forests, strengthen value chains, and prove that empowering local leadership delivers real impact for people and planet.

No alto dos Andes nasce a Amazônia, fonte de quase metade da água doce da floresta. Na COP30, a Amazonia Impact Ventures convoca líderes e investidores a direcionar financiamento climático para a região andina, fortalecendo comunidades locais e cadeias de valor que mantêm a floresta em pé.

Amazonia Impact Ventures will attend the CST & Investing Summit (10–13 Nov) in Washington, D.C., to advance Faith‑First blended finance for Amazon conservation and community wellbeing. AIV centres Indigenous leadership and women in the Amazon bioeconomy (32% Indigenous beneficiaries; 36% women). Sessions include Women Leading Impact and Finance for the Common Good, framed through a Well‑being Economy approach.

The UNEP 2025 report finds forest finance must rise from US$84bn (2023) to US$300bn by 2030, yet only 0.4% of funding targets Indigenous Peoples and local communities. AIV’s blended, impact‑linked finance model directly responds by de‑risking private capital for community‑led NTFP value chains and measurable forest protection.

Leadership networks accelerate decisions by giving members access to tested solutions and peer validation. Amazonia Impact Ventures announces co‑founder Pajani Singah’s membership of Meaningful Business, strengthening our partnership potential and commitment to nature‑positive finance in the Amazon.
