ARPA The Amazon Region Protected Areas (ARPA) program is a sweeping safeguard for the Amazon rain forest. It will ensure the survival of Earth's richest biological treasures. This is a partnership with the Brazilian Government, the Brazilian Biodiversity Fund (FUNBIO), the German Development Bank (KFW), the Global Environmental Facility, Greenspan, WWF, Conservation International, and many others. It's a ten year effort to save an additional 33% of the Amazon rain forest. GO4 |

THE AMAZON Amazonia is home to about 400 unique Amerindian cultures and about half of the world's terrestrial species. It also plays a major role in the global water and climate cycle. Over two-thirds of the planet's fresh water is in the Amazon, and one-fifth of the world's oxygen is derived from there. GO4 |
