Welcome to Igapó, a science-based organization dedicated to the preservation and scientific exploration of the Amazon rainforest. Our name derives from the blackwater flooded forest that plays a vital role in the Amazon basin's ecosystem, the igapó. We strive to connect people to the rainforest through environmental education, research, and conservation initiatives, ensuring the protection of this unique region.

​

Our team has extensive experience in biological research, specializing in taxonomy, ecology, and conservation. We offer opportunities for volunteers and travelers interested in nature to experience the wonders of the Amazon Rainforest firsthand. Furthermore, we are commited to provide environmental education, particularly to local schools. Our programs give you hands-on experience in conservation and research activities, including birding, nature photography, and hiking. We welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds who share our passion for preserving the environment and supporting local communities.

 

Whether you're a student, a volunteer or a traveler, you can make a difference in the future of the Amazon rainforest by joining us at Igapó. Together, we can make a meaningful contribution towards protecting Amazon's invaluable ecosystems for generations to come.
