Theory of change

The project area will be conserved and enhanced, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while preserving an ecosystem rich in biodiversity. The Rio Madeira project is actively working with landowners and local communities to facilitate the transition of the local economy towards sustainable land use and forest conservation.
