The Amazonian Nut: Restoring its gigantic potential for forest and biodiversity conservation and income generation in the Amazon Region

The objective of this TC is to support the initial development phase of a strategic, coordinated plan between Brazil, Perú and Bolivia to promote the Amazonian nut as a staple of forest standing and socio-economic productivity and well-being, repositioning it in the international and local markets. The Amazonian nut production consists of a wild harvest, currently involving a territory of approximately 58 million hectares, and engaging over 90 thousand people. Due to its biological characteristics, the commercial success of the Amazonian nut directly translates and contributes to biodiversity conservation, to other related sustainable forest value chains and to the livelihoods of the communities that depend on them. This proposal corresponds to a start-up phase for a regional governance plan to identify more targeted interventions within each of the participating countries in a second phase.
