In the Andean Amazon, forest communities use biodiversity without depleting natural resources and promote it within local organisations and value chains. This has three key benefits: preserving biodiversity, mitigating climate change and creating favourable conditions for adaptation to this change. In this capacity, the communities should be eligible for funding granted under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, in order to strengthen these local organisations and value chains, which remain fragile.
