Amazon Business Alliance

General

This project focuses on climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation in the Peruvian Amazon. The goal is to limit deforestation and forest degradation by restoring degraded ecosystems, while creating and strengthening bio-enterprises in the region that generate income for vulnerable populations, including women and indigenous peoples of the Amazon. Project activities include: (1) the creation of a public-private financing platform for bioenterprises; (2) technical assistance to producers in business and financial management, as well as in sustainable natural resource and land management; and (3) the development of national and regional laws, policies, regulations and programs conducive to bioenterprises.
