Collaboration for protecting the Amazon people and nature: the case of the Amazon Sustainable Landscapes Program

Learn about the ASL and its role, and experience promoting collaboration among multiple and diverse stakeholders to conserve and sustainably develop the Amazon. The ASL is a GEF-funded, WB-led program that includes national child projects in Brazil, Colombia, and Peru, and a regional coordination and knowledge management project. It is currently being scaled up with Bolivia, Ecuador, Guyana and Suriname joining. The event will provide different points of view (government, business sector, scientist, community, donor) about the opportunities and challenges for collaboration to address regional environmental challenges, and how can programs like the ASL address them. The event will include an interactive session where participants will be able to share innovative ideas to address the challenges of collaboration, based on experiences from the Amazon and other regions in the world.
