To document and draw attention to the issue of the source of the Amazon River not being a protected area, FAS launched the documentary "Beyond Borders: Journey to the Source of the Amazon River," which recorded the stories of affected communities and the environmental challenges faced on an expedition to Nevado Mismi in the Arequipa region of Peru. This region is vital not only for its geographical importance but also for being one of the areas most affected by climate change.

FAS's efforts aim not only at creating a protected area but also at promoting adaptation plans to the climate changes that are accelerating at Nevado Mismi. The region has experienced accelerated melting of its glaciers, a direct consequence of rising global temperatures. This melting not only threatens the source of the Amazon River but also directly affects local communities, which rely on meltwater for their daily activities.
