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

The general objective of this TC is to support the initial development of a strategic and coordinated plan among Brazil, Perú and Bolivia, aimed at protecting the Amazon nut; enhancing the livelihoods of local and indigenous communities; and promoting the Amazon nut as a symbol of forest conservation and socio-economic productivity.
