UN Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization

The Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization (ACTO) is a multilateral alliance of Amazon Basin countries—like Brazil, Peru, Colombia, and others—focused on sustainable development, environmental protection, and conservation of the Amazon rainforest. It facilitates collaboration among member nations to balance economic growth with preserving the rainforest’s rich biodiversity and indigenous cultures. ACTO encourages joint projects, knowledge sharing, and policies that address issues like deforestation, climate change, and resource management, aiming to ensure the Amazon remains a vital natural and cultural resource for future generations.
