Introducing Affordable
Solar Canoes
to the Amazon!

An electric canoe powered by the sun to boost ecological sustainability throughout the Amazon rainforest and beyond.

Our Vision

A world where universities and Indigenous communities work reciprocally to sustain all forms of life through principled innovations that support local economies in their own cultural terms.

Our Mission

Solar Canoes Against Deforestation is a non-for-profit organization whose mission is to provide affordable electric canoes for riverine and fishing communities.

We are piloting an affordable solar-powered canoe and a network of solar recharge stations with Waorani riverine communities that can be scaled across Latin America and beyond.

The solar stations provide internet access to communities, opening opportunities for green jobs in ecosystem services enhancement, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable food production.
