AIRR was formed on September 1, 1990 in Toronto Ontario Canada when the Holy Spirit, through revelation, said "Start a non-profit corporation, Amazon International Rainforest Reserve." "Let God’s will be done." Throughout Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and Sustainable Amazonia in Manaus Amazonas in 2002, AIRR has continually pressed for the preservation of the Amazon Rainforest.
