For the last four decades, cooperation among the eight countries in which the rainforest lies was primarily induced by the Amazon Cooperation Treaty (ACT). Originally adopted to ensure national sovereignty, the ACT gradually evolved towards a framework for sustainable development. Based on the challenges faced by the treaty and its subsequent instruments, Maria Antonia Tigre analyzes ways in which the ACT can be more effectively applied, leading to practical results that reduce deforestation. These specifically relate to the enforceability of the right to the environment, the implementation of protected areas, and the development of financial mechanisms to fund initiatives. 410 0$aInternational Environmental Law$v13. 606 $aEnvironmental law$zAmazon River Region 606 $aEnvironmental policy$zAmazon River Region 606 $aEnvironmental impact analysis$xLaw and legislation$zAmazon River Region 606 $aDeforestation$xControl$zAmazon River Region 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnvironmental law 615 0$aEnvironmental policy 615 0$aEnvironmental impact analysis$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aDeforestation$xControl 676 $a344.8046 700 $aTigre$b Maria Antonia$01039038 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910494605403321 996 $aRegional cooperation in Amazonia$92460971 997 $aUNINA
