Central Amazon Conservation Complex

Tourism

The Central Amazon Conservation Complex, spanning millions of hectares within Brazil's Amazon Rainforest, is a UNESCO World Heritage site crucial for its biodiversity and ecological importance. This diverse ecosystem, rich with endemic species such as the Amazon river dolphin and jaguar, plays a vital role in global climate regulation through carbon sequestration. Climate change poses significant threats to this area, including altered rainfall patterns and more frequent extreme weather events, endangering both biodiversity and local indigenous communities. The conservation efforts here align with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as SDG 13 (Climate Action) by mitigating climate impact, SDG 15 (Life on Land) and SDG 14 (Life Below Water) by protecting diverse habitats, and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) through international collaboration to enhance sustainability. These initiatives are essential for the Amazon’s ecological integrity and global environmental stability.
