Amazon biocorridor initiative

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded a $3,456,000.00 Cooperative Agreement to The Nature Conservancy (TNC) under the USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas (CFDA 98.001) federal grant program. The award, effective January 16, 2025 through January 15, 2030, will support the Amazon Biocorridor Initiative in Ecuador. Through this Cooperative Agreement, TNC will deliver a range of ecosystem restoration, conservation, and climate adaptation services, drawing on the organization's extensive experience providing technical assistance and logistical support to federal agencies for environmental management projects in remote and ecologically sensitive locations. The award builds on TNC's existing Blanket Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for support and transportation services at the Palmyra Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, further demonstrating the organization's capacity to execute specialized environmental programs in challenging geographies.
