RAISG’S CHALLENGES

Over the past two decades, the studies carried out by RAISG show that
the tipping point of the Amazon is not a future scenario, but a current
one. We know that the protection of 80 % of the Amazon is not only
possible and necessary, but also urgent, and we have highlighted the
role of natural protected areas and indigenous territories in the
dynamics of territorial transformation.
Over 15 years of experience, RAISG has accumulated knowledge and
methodologies to understand the Amazon from a multidimensional
perspective. Coordination with local communities and indigenous
organizations in each country allows us to act at different scales (local,

national, and regional). A comprehensive view of the Amazon – geogra-
phical, social and thematic – contributes to reflections on the manage-
ment and governance of this space of sovereignty shared among

several countries.
As a regional political and strategic actor capable of contributing to
tackling these issues, our challenges are to strengthen the generation
of reliable and locally generated information for use by different sectors
of society, local as well as international; to develop strategic alliances
and dialogues that contribute to action at different scales; and to
contribute with strategies and public policies that guarantee the
governance and sustainability of the Amazon in a comprehensive way.
