First established in 2002 by the Brazilian government, and
later expanded with the support of WWF and private donors, the
conservation program known as ARPA helps protect 120
conservation areas spanning more than 60 million hectares —
about the size of Ukraine — of the Brazilian Amazon. The
program initially worked on creating new protected areas and
then on designing a durable financial mechanism to support their
protection.
A new phase, called ARPA Comunidades (Communities),
is now shifting the focus to the traditional communities who live
within the forest and help protect it. Half of the conservation
areas covered by ARPA are sustainable-use conservation units
like the Chico Mendes Extractive Reserve, inhabited by local
communities who live sustainably off the forest‘s resources.
Announced during the COP30 climate summit in the
Amazonian city of Belém, ARPA Comunidades will focus on
these 60 sustainable-use reserves, which together cover an area of
23.7 million hectares, nearly the size of the U.K. The aim is to
help reduce deforestation and improve the well-being of the local
populations by supporting the development of local
bioeconomies. Over 15 years, the program hopes to directly
impact 130,000 people. It will also seek to add a further 3 million
hectares of protected areas.
A 2023 paper by the Escolhas Institute, a Brazilian
research organization, found that a 1% reduction in extreme
poverty in the Brazilian Amazon has the potential to reduce
deforestation by 27,000 hectares in the region.
Greater recognition of local communities‘ needs and role
in protecting the forest is not a new demand, said Carlos Durigan,
a researcher at the Amazon Environmental Research Institute
(IPAM).
