The Amazon Sustainable Landscapes Program (ASL Program), is an Impact Program funded by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) with the objective to protect globally significant biodiversity and implement policies to foster sustainable land use and restoration of native vegetation cover in Amazon regions of Brazil, Colombia and Peru. It aims to strengthen management effectiveness of more than 66 million hectares of protected areas, facilitate the creation of 4.3 million hectares of new protected areas, promote sustainable practices in almost 11 million hectares, restore 35,000 hectares of forests and support actions to mitigate emissions by 164 million mtC02e. The ASL national projects are led by the countries’ Ministries of Environment and are being executed collaboratively between public and private entities. The World Bank (lead agency), WWF and UNDP act as GEF Implementing Agencies providing support and supervision. A regional coordination project, implemented by the WB, provides technical assistance and knowledge management opportunities to the participant countries.
