Our Work

Partnership for the Conservation of Amazon Biodiversity (PCAB) aims to ensure the integrity and conservation of the Brazilian Amazon ecosystem over the next 20 years – with the lasting effects of the Partnership – as well as improve the well-being and socioeconomic status of rural and traditional communities living in the Amazon region. The governments collaborate to achieve the following results: 1) Protected areas are fully consolidated, meeting their management, implementation, monitoring and conservation roles 2) Biodiversity-based sustainable value chains and businesses are expanded, 3) Private sector engagement actively fosters sustainable-livelihoods toward a sustainable economic model for Amazon communities; 4) Throughout these pillars, USAID aims to incorporate science, technology and innovation to improve biodiversity conservation practices.
