The Center for Amazon Community Ecology promotes forest conservation in the Peruvian Amazon by helping native artisans to develop and market innovative handicrafts in the U.S. We need several types of help to manage our inventory of handicrafts. These tasks involve: 1) prepare newly arrived crafts for sale - this includes assigning them an appropriate inventory item number, measuring their weight and dimensions, and preparing a simple item description, 2) entering craft information into our inventory database, 3) printing and attaching bar code stickers to tags on the crafts, 4) photographing the crafts, 5) checking out crafts before delivery to craft fairs or other venues for sale on consignment, 6) helping to inventory all crafts in stock on a quarterly basis.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Center for Amazon Community Ecology is to promote the understanding, conservation and sustainable development of human and other biological communities in the Amazon region. Our three strategies are research, community support and education. One of our main goals is to study the ecology and develop the sustainable harvest and marketing of non-timber forest products such as fruits, fibers, resins, and oils. We also work with indigenous and other forest peoples to sustain local resources and support their communities.
Description
The main strategies for achieving our goals are research, community support, and education. This will include investigating the ecology and sustainable harvest of non-timber forest products (like resins, fruits and fibers) and assisting indigenous and other forest-based communities to manage and market them to support local development and conservation. This will require reaching out to and connecting many people and communities in the Amazon and abroad. CACE is a member of the Fair Trade Federation.
