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.
CACE needs a van or mini-van to carry our exhibition tent, display materials and crafts to sell at music festivals, craft fairs and fair-trade shows in the eastern US. We are looking for people who can help us get a suitable vehicle donated to our organization.

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.
