A new study mapped 141 financing mechanisms across the Amazon and found the same pattern throughout: the capital exists, but it rarely reaches the people on the ground. From investor education to the GLF Investment Case Symposium, three conversations this week on what it takes to close that gap — and what AIV has learned closing it.

Amazonia Impact Ventures has been featured in the Pollination Foundation’s Nature Finance case series, highlighting how impact‑linked loans are helping community‑owned and forest‑positive enterprises strengthen value chains, invest in regenerative practices and expand local livelihoods across the Amazon.

Amazonia Impact Ventures has started UK PACT’s field work in Peru with a project session in Puerto Maldonado, bringing together producer organisations from key Amazonian value chains. The meeting introduced the diagnostic process, capacity‑building modules and plans for strengthening forest‑based enterprises across Loreto and Madre de Dios.

Applications for the Pan‑Amazon Investor Education Program are open until 21 July. A rare chance for investors to learn directly from Amazonian communities, experts and territorial leaders.

Across Junín and Pasco, AIV is working with five coffee cooperatives to strengthen their technical capacity in climate‑smart agriculture. Through agroforestry workshops led by Henry S. and Verónica López de la Lama, cooperatives learn how to restore soils, diversify crops and reduce deforestation risk. These sessions form part of AIV’s mission to build resilient, low‑emission coffee systems and support producer organisations in leading their own sustainable transition.

At London Climate Week, Amazonia Impact Ventures gathered leaders from Brazil, Peru and the investment community to examine why bioeconomy finance still struggles to reach the forest communities who sustain it. Speakers highlighted new national strategies, community‑led models and financial mechanisms emerging across the Amazon — and the structural alignment needed for capital to support them.

At London Climate Action Week, AIV and Practical Action brought together leaders from across the Amazon to examine a central question: what is the real risk of investing in Indigenous bioeconomies — and what is the risk of not doing so? Through stories of ancestral cacao, forest‑based products and emerging financial models, speakers showed how community‑led enterprises are reshaping the future of nature‑positive markets.

London Climate Action Week brings together thousands of people driving real climate solutions. For AIV, it’s a chance to connect our work in the Amazon — from impact‑linked investments to Indigenous and community‑led enterprises — with the partners who can help scale it. This week we’re hosting key conversations on financing the Indigenous bioeconomy and showcasing enterprises generating real revenue and real impact.

Only 6% of investment capital in Latin America reaches women‑led businesses, despite women driving most of the region’s underserved market. At the GLI Forum LATAM 2026 in Lima, AIV highlights why gender equality is central to investing in the Amazon. With nearly 40% of our portfolio led by women, we’re committed to mobilising the capital needed to strengthen livelihoods and drive long‑term prosperity.

Amazonia Impact Ventures announces a new partnership with ASCART on the International Day for Biological Diversity. Led by forest steward Rosa Chávez, the association protects biodiversity in Tambopata while sustainably harvesting Brazil nuts. AIV’s investment strengthens their systems, resilience and long‑term forest stewardship.

Leaders from across Peru were recognised by the Ministry of the Environment for their contributions to conservation and sustainable development. The ceremony brought together awardees committed to protecting ecosystems and strengthening community‑led environmental action, highlighting the growing momentum for climate‑positive initiatives across the country.

AIV is on the ground in Zurich for Climate Week, engaging with investors shaping the next decade of climate and nature finance. We begin at the Momentum Summit, one of Europe’s highest‑signal environments for catalytic climate and nature investment, before joining two key sessions on the Amazonian bioeconomy and systemic capital. AIV looks forward to advancing conversations on nature‑positive, community‑rooted enterprises and connecting with partners.

AIV has expanded its long‑standing partnership with Sanchirio Palomar Cooperative through a new impact‑linked loan supporting production, processing and export of organic agroforestry coffee in Peru’s Junín region. The cooperative’s 630 members—one‑third women—combine high‑quality coffee with environmental stewardship, gender leadership and traceability aligned with EUDR requirements.

Day 2 at the Skoll World Forum has been energising, with Oxford buzzing as global leaders converge to accelerate impact. AIV’s Pajani Singah drew a full room, underscoring the rising demand for livelihood‑driven opportunities in the Amazon. As Earth Day approaches, the focus turns to capital’s role in shaping a just, green transition.

Oxford is alive this week as Amazonia Impact Ventures joins the Skoll World Forum to spotlight nature‑positive finance and community‑led conservation. With AIV leaders speaking across multiple sessions, including discussions on impact capital, Indigenous leadership, and regenerative value chains, we’re contributing grounded insights from the Amazon to global conversations on how people and planet can thrive together.

A 100% women‑led coffee cooperative from the Peruvian Amazon has reached a new milestone. CEMCAVIR has completed its first export shipment to Malongo in France, following years of investment and partnership with Amazonia Impact Ventures. Their progress reflects the power of women’s leadership and sustainable value chains in the Amazon.

Amazonia Impact Ventures held an initial conversation with the Fundação Amazônia Sustentável in Manaus, exploring early opportunities for collaboration on community‑led bioeconomy models in the Brazilian Amazon. The discussion highlighted FAS’s flagship pirarucu programme, a recognised example of how conservation, traditional knowledge and local income generation can reinforce one another across floodplain ecosystems.

Momentum Summit will redefining how climate and nature‑focused capital connects. As one of the first confirmed investors, Amazonia Impact Ventures will join an approval‑only room of 400 leaders in Zurich, where investors are prioritised, founders are matched by thesis, and more than €1bn in AUM is already represented. With no panels or pitch theatre, Momentum is built for what the sector needs most: disciplined conversations that move directly to second calls.

Amazonia Impact Ventures is carrying out a field mission across the Peruvian Amazon, meeting producer organisations, reviewing operations and working alongside partners to strengthen the pipeline for renewed and future investments. This on‑the‑ground engagement ensures every loan aligns with local priorities, cultural contexts and long‑term environmental outcomes.
