All eight Amazon countries now coordinate on conservation, including Venezuela

The Amazon Sustainable Landscapes Program, a global conservation effort, has expanded to include Venezuela for the first time. This means all eight Amazon nations are now working together on managing their shared ecosystems.

For years, conservation efforts in the Amazon were fragmented, with some key countries not participating in regional programs. This expansion means a unified approach to protecting the Amazon is now possible. It allows for more consistent policies and shared knowledge across the entire basin, which could lead to more effective large-scale conservation outcomes.
