Conservation and Governance seeks to reduce deforestation in the Amazon and create environmentally sustainable, legal economic opportunities. The activity incentivizes biodiversity conservation by supporting market-based value chains and by encouraging public and private sector investment in these areas. The activity also protects existing forests, rehabilitates degraded land, and constructs ecological corridors that connect smaller patches of forests to one another.  Conservation and Governance runs from July 2013 - December 2020.
