Restore Land. Recover Water. Rebuild Livelihoods.
Artisanal and small-scale gold mining can leave behind mercury-contaminated soils, eroded terrain, damaged waterways, and communities with limited alternatives. Amazonian Recovery Group combines environmental science, engineering, agroforestry, and community engagement to create practical, measurable recovery pathways.
We work with mining operators, cooperatives, governments, NGOs, landowners, and impact investors to reduce environmental risk while supporting long-term economic opportunity.
Four Ecological Zones of the Orinoco Arc
Our ecological intervention framework spans the four designated territorial sectors of the Orinoco Arc, prioritizing mercury elimination and the defense of indigenous Pemón water rights.
Area 1: Cuchivero Basin
Area 2: Cedeño & Caroní
Area 3: Cuyuní River Basin
Area 4: Imataca & Gran Sabana
Western highland catchments focused on bauxite containment, deep hydrological monitoring, and sediment filtration along seasonal headwaters.
Critical hydraulic arterial zone protecting the lower Caroní river through zero-mercury centrifugal separators and constructed marsh channels.
Historic alluvial mining corridors undergoing intense mercury fixation, chemical stabilization of tailing ponds, and geomorphic bank restoration.
Pristine tepuy buffer territories co-managed with Pemón community councils to eliminate mercury contamination and regenerate native primary forest.
Core Services
Integrated environmental engineering, ecological rehabilitation, and responsible transition protocols tailored to fragile Amazonian ecosystems.
Mercury & Water Remediation
Land Restoration & Soil Reconstruction
We design and implement solutions to isolate, stabilize, and reduce mercury impacts in soils, sediments, tailings, and water systems.
We rebuild the biological and physical foundation needed for native ecosystems and productive land use to return.
Includes contaminated sediment assessment, closed-loop dredging, constructed wetlands, sulfate-reducing bioreactor systems, and chemical stabilization.
Covers topsoil reconstruction, biochar and organic amendment programs, geomorphic regrading, pit backfilling, native reforestation, and phytoremediation.
Nature-Based Solutions & Consulting
Responsible Mining Transition
We help clients design credible, fundable, and implementable environmental recovery programs.
We support mining cooperatives and Pemón communities to systematically eliminate mercury from mineral processing.
Delivering mine-closure strategies, environmental risk assessments, wetland engineering, biodiversity planning, LiDAR drone mapping, and verified MRV.
Deploying gravity concentration circuits, formalization agreements, clean processing centers, and economic diversification for local indigenous families.
Partner with our environmental scientists, restoration engineers, and indigenous field teams to eliminate mercury contamination and regenerate degraded Amazonian land.
