Amazon Sustainable Landscapes Project

About

The Amazon Sustainable Landscapes Project is a comprehensive initiative aimed at conserving biodiversity and promoting sustainable land use in the Amazon region. It involves expanding protected areas, improving their management, and restoring degraded lands. The project operates across several countries, including Brazil, Colombia, and Peru, and is supported by organizations like the World Bank, WWF, and UNDP. It seeks to maintain 73 million hectares of forest land and reduce CO2 emissions by 300 million tons by 2030[1][2]. The project focuses on integrated landscape management, strengthening policies for sustainable development, and enhancing regional cooperation. It includes components like the Amazon Protected Areas System and policies for native vegetation recovery. The goal is to protect significant biodiversity and ecosystem services while supporting sustainable practices in productive landscapes[3][5]. By promoting reforestation and sustainable management, the project aims to secure the long-term health of the Amazon ecosystem, benefiting both local communities and global climate stability[3][4].
