Through academic partnerships, applied research, and community collaboration.
Universities and research teams gain local partnerships, field coordination, and implementation support.
Amazon King International Educational Center (AKEC) is a registered nonprofit organization based in Peru, working at the intersection of education, community development, and environmental conservation in the Peruvian Amazon.
Through the Amazon Field Institute, an academic and research initiative of AKEC, we partner with universities, researchers, and institutions to enable field-based programs and applied projects in one of the world’s most biodiverse regions.
Biodiversity, restoration, climate, and land-use research conducted in the Amazon with AKEC operational support.
Structured 2 to 4 week field programs for university students. Small cohorts, project-based, grounded in the Amazon.
Supporting community-led education, sustainability, and development initiatives through long-term partnerships.

Food supplies and medical products
Every item was sorted, labeled, and checked by the AKEC team before distribution, including expiration date verification for all food and medical products. In the video, Diego and the team walk through the effort directly from the field.
The Amazon Field Institute is the academic and research channel through which AKEC partners with universities, hosts research teams, and delivers field-based programs. It is not a separate organization. It is how AKEC formalizes its commitment to institutional collaboration and field-based academic work.
The Amazon provides a unique environment for field-based learning, research, and sustainability practice — carried out with Amazonian communities, not at their expense. Every program is grounded in local collaboration, mutual benefit, and respect for the people and ecosystems involved.
