To conserve the Amazon river dolphin and its environment through research, education and collaboration

Amazon River Dolphin Conservation Foundation (ARDCF), a registered 501c3, supports local efforts to protect a storied species and its rainforest ecosystem. Building upon the wisdom of Amazon traditions, practices and beliefs with findings from modern conservation biology, ARDCF works to preserve the river dolphin from the corrosive pressures of outside, usually foreign interests that threaten the

survival of the dolphins and their world. The fates of dolphins and people have been entwined for millennia. ARDCF promotes healthy, natural interactions between dolphins and people that protect both animals and people, sustain local culture, and transform visitors to ardent Amazon conservationists.

Did you know river dolphins can hit speeds of 15–16 mph? Fast, flexible, and uniquely adapted to helping them chase prey and navigate deep rivers and murky waterways.

Today on Endangered Species Day, we honor the Amazon’s most vulnerable species — including the endangered Amazon river dolphin (boto) and the tucuxi.
Their future depends on the choices we make right now: protecting rivers from pollution, supporting sustainable fishing, standing with riverine communities, and defending the wild places these species call home.
At , we’re working every day to safeguard these dolphins through research, community partnerships, and education that empowers local stewards of the Amazon.
When we protect endangered species, we protect entire ecosystems — and the people who rely on them.
Thank you for standing with us, for caring, and for helping keep the Amazon alive with possibility. 💙🐬🌿

The Three Amigos out on patrol! Nothing beats observing these curious botos cruising the river together. Also, notice their very different and unique color patterns! Every sighting reminds us why this work matters so much.

The river is unusually calm here, and that means ideal conditions for seeing Amazon river dolphins moving through the channels!
