PROAmazonía strengthens territorial planning (PDOT) and life plans with a focus on conservation, sustainable production, climate change, gender and interculturality.
99% of the deforested area in Ecuador has been transformed into agricultural areas, for this reason, PROAmazonía supports the transformation of traditional production systems into sustainable agro-production systems, free of deforestation, so as to control and limit the growth of the agrarian border.
PROAmazonía works with 4 commodities that are considered the main causes of deforestation.
The aim is to direct this traditional production towards sustainable production of these products.
Forests are a natural solution to address climate change and their conservation involves a number of significant transformations in natural resource management, production and land use policies.
