CONAPAC is a Peruvian non-profit civil association founded in 1990 by teachers, forestry engineers and staff of a travel operator in Iquitos. It works to conserve the Peruvian Amazon rainforest by making conservation agreements with rural communities along the Amazon and Napo rivers. In return, it offers education and action-based programmes for educators and communities, including the Adopt-A-School programme, school supply delivery, clean water systems built as community water towers, agroforestry and community-based conservation projects. Headquartered in Iquitos, Peru, the organisation relies on staff, volunteers and donors, with online donations processed through its US partner, the Detroit Zoological Society.
