Amazon Restore is a great name! By looking around in their website it seemed to me like an interesting project.

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to find out who they are, or at least how they organise, and how they get money for this effort. If you have better luck on these topics, please share the links.

From what I understand, the people doing the thing fund it themselves. It seems like each parcel of land is managed independently, but I don't know to what degree they coordinate between the different lands. They have an email address on the Contact page, so you can ask whatever you want to know.

We need more people starting or joining projects like this! Having no corporate sponsors and no government funding are especially important with all of the corruption involved in "carbon credit" projects and government funding being cut off or contingent on a bunch of bureaucracy. Independent restoration efforts controlled by the people living in the area just make more sense. Less conflicts of interest. If even a small percentage of the population did this, it could make a huge difference.
