Map of Community Connections of Sociobioeconomics in the Amazon

The Amazon contains 60% of global biodiversity and generates only 2% of Brazil's GDP. This report maps out why this gap exists and what needs to be changed.

The problem is not a lack of initiatives. It's their fragmentation.

The Amazonian sociobioeconomy is moving beyond its socio-environmental niche to become central to Brazil's development project. With COP30, the PNDBio, and the 2024–2035 Climate Plan, the country is taking a global lead on the environmental agenda, and the need for strategic and orchestrating intelligence is increasingly relevant to the current context.

This study first heard who keeps the forest alive. Then, we cross-referenced these experiences with experts and ecosystem drivers. The result is a diagnosis that presents structural causes that capture the sector and paths to existing solutions.

What you will find in the report

1. The architecture of the ecosystem

Who are the actors who make the forest economy happen and what are their roles in the sociobiodiversity of the Amazon

2. Systemic bottlenecks

What are the pains of these actors and how they are connected to each other and to structural bottlenecks in the region.  

3. Convergences and Divergences  

How different positions in the ecosystem generate different views and where the consensus is that can move the field.  

4. Strategic levers  

Hybrid business models, blended finance, biofactories, PSA, generational succession, and other levers: concrete paths for the sector.
