One of the most biodiverse regions on the planet, the Ecuadorian Amazon plays a critical role in maintaining the world’s climate, provides valuable freshwater benefits and supports an astounding number of plants, animals and people. Today, the Republic of Ecuador, with the support of The Nature Conservancy’s Nature Bonds Program, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, the Inter-American Development Bank and Bank of America announced a debt conversion that is expected to unlock approximately $460 million over the next 17 years for the conservation of terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. The first of its kind in the Ecuadorian Amazon, this debt conversion will advance the Amazon Biocorridor Program, a management model for effectively conserving the region. With the conservation funding unlocked by the deal, the Amazon Biocorridor Program aims to: ✅ Improve the management of 4.6 million hectares of existing protected areas ✅ Protect an additional 1.8 million hectares of life-giving, climate-mitigating forests and wetlands and 18,000 kilometers of rivers ✅ Bolster climate resilience ✅ Support human well-being Through a co-designing process with Indigenous Peoples and Nationalities, the program ensures that local knowledge and scientific evidence guide the strategies to enhance ecological connectivity and resilience, and it promotes social and environmental safeguards that respect cultural diversity and support the well-being of local communities.
