The Arrabida Declaration

The Arrábida Declaration is a commitment made by various countries in 2010 to promote sustainable development and cooperation in biodiversity conservation. Named after the Arrábida Natural Park in Portugal, the declaration emphasizes the importance of protecting ecosystems, enhancing human wellbeing, and fostering economic growth without harming the environment. It encourages collaboration among nations to tackle global challenges like climate change and habitat loss, while also supporting local communities and their relationship with nature. This initiative aims to create a balanced approach to using natural resources responsibly for future generations.
