Program Officer Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Palo Alto, CA, United States
Established in September 2000, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation seeks to advance environmental conservation, scientific research, and patient care. The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation is among the 10 largest foundations in the U.S. and one of the largest private funders of environmental conservation and science in the world. (See http://www.moore.org)
The Foundation is seeking a Program Officer for the Andes-Amazon Initiative. The position is based in Palo Alto, California.
The Andes-Amazon Initiative’s goal is to conserve the Amazonian forests, which provide habitat for biodiversity and regulate the regional climate cycle. To achieve this goal, the Foundation supports work that addresses the following elements:
• Resilient protected areas and protected area systems,
• The transformation of frontier economies, and
• Basin-wide enabling conditions for conservation.
The Program Officer will:
• Lead strategy development and grant-making on policy and financial mechanisms to address drivers of deforestation in the Amazon, including agricultural commodities. The goal is to support partners in Andes-Amazon countries to develop frameworks for economic and social investments that incorporate the value of standing forests and adopt proper environmental safeguards. This will require work with the private and public sectors, including corporations, communities and governments at different scales.
• Collaborate with other program officers on strategies and grants supporting integrated land use planning in the Amazon.
• Support strategic planning for the Foundation’s potential future investments focused on reducing the impact of agricultural commodities across natural habitats in South America through research, data analysis and synthesis, and working with external experts.
