The most important and biologically diverse terrestrial ecosystem, the Amazon is essential for the health of our planet and the survival of our species. Conservation of the Amazon lies in shifting from a deforestation-based economy to an Amazonian bioeconomy. Efforts should focus on the people of the Amazon: reducing poverty to keep the forest standing. Since 2008, the Foundation for Amazon Sustainability (FAS) has contributed to the environmental conservation of the Amazon by enhancing the socioeconomic benefits of the forest and its biodiversity, while improving the quality of life of communities by implementing and disseminating knowledge about sustainable development.
