UNESCO | Amazon Project supports essential oils in Central Amazon Biosphere Reserve (Brazil) @UNESCO | Uploaded 2 weeks ago | Updated 17 hours ago
UNESCO and IDESAM work together for a sustainable essential oils initiative within Brazil's Central Amazon Biosphere Reserve. This initiative is one of the 42 initiatives supported by UNESCO's Amazon Biosphere Reserves Project. It focuses on the sustainable production of essential oils, promoting bioeconomic activities that generate sustainable income without deforestation. By employing an agroforestry system, the initiative contributes to both the conservation and sustainable use of forest resources.

Launched in 2021 by UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB), with the suport of Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH), the Amazon Biosphere Reserves Project highlights innovative efforts like this. To learn more, visit: unesco.org/en/amazon-biosphere-reserves-project
