IMPAQTO Capital Amazon Andes Fund is a USD 30M blended finance fund mobilizing capital to develop regenerative value chains that reduce deforestation and strengthen forest livelihoods in the Andean Amazon. The fund will provide loans and equity to businesses that promote sustainable land use, aiming to reduce deforestation while strengthening climate resilience and supporting local livelihoods.

Deforestation and unsustainable land use in the Andean Amazon continue to drive climate change and ecosystem degradation in one of the world’s most important regions for carbon storage and biodiversity. Private investment has largely focused on extractive activities, while regenerative and forest-friendly businesses struggle to access capital. As a result, forest-dependent communities often lack viable economic alternatives that support conservation and climate resilience.

IMPAQTO Capital proposes a blended finance fund that brings together philanthropic and private capital to support regenerative businesses in the Andean Amazon. It will invest in activities along sustainable value chains, such as cacao and coffee, from production to processing and market access. By supporting forest-friendly businesses and strengthening market connections, the fund aims to make sustainable land use economically viable while creating more stable income opportunities for local producers.

According to IMPAQTO Capital, the Fund aims to reduce deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions in the Andean Amazon by supporting regenerative, deforestation-free value chains. By promoting agroforestry and sustainable land management, it seeks to protect forests, increase carbon sequestration, and strengthen ecosystem resilience. The Fund also aims to improve livelihoods for forest-dependent communities by increasing income stability, supporting climate-resilient production systems, and creating economic incentives that align long-term forest conservation with sustainable development.
