amazon - right now climate fund

In 2023, Amazon contributed $1 million (INR 83 million) to a three-year project with the Centre for Wildlife Studies to help protect wildlife and support rural communities in the Western Ghats. As farmland and forests increasingly overlap, animals venture into croplands in search of food, leading to rising conflict. The initiative supports 2,000 family farms in planting and maintaining 300,000 fruit-bearing, timber, and medicinal trees that do not attract wildlife, helping restore native forest buffers and safe corridors. By linking conservation with this type of sustainable agriculture, the project helps reduce conflict, restore ecosystems, and generate new income opportunities for rural communities across southern India—showing how people and wildlife can thrive together.
