The non-profit Center for Amazon Community Ecology promotes forest conservation, creates sustainable livelihoods for forest peoples and supports healthy communities in the Amazon rainforest. We are currently helping to develop and market innovative handicrafts and essential oils with 15 native and campesino communities in the Peruvian Amazon. We have recently launched the online Amazon Forest Store (www.amazonforeststore.org) to help sell their crafts.
We plan to use a lot of photos (and video) to help visitors to this store and our social media sites to make the strongest possible connection between our artisan partners and the public. I would like to use facial recognition software to compare photos of our known artisans to a large collection of raw images of photos taken in the villages over the past 11 years. I have not found an out of the box solution to do this, but there are many APIs available that a programer could use to create an application for us. Please contact us if you can help do this for us.
We would ideally like to be able to do this working with a program that would be self-contained on a PC laptop. If this is not possible, we could compare our known photos to the unknown photos online.

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.
