The vision of the Amazon Region Protected Areas Project (ARPA) is to create a mosaic of protected areas around productive landscapes to maintain the ecological integrity of the region over the long term. The project aims to add 28 million hectares in new protected areas (PAs) in the Brazilian Amazon over the next 10 years, while helping to consolidate the existing protected areas system. This will result in a total of 50 million hectares of Amazon forested ecosystems under protection and sustainable use, an area the size of Spain.
