The power of partnerships and technology to stop illegal gold mining in the AmazonAt this year’s COP16, we will be hosting a special side event highlighting the issue of illegal gold mining, one of the most prominent threats to the Amazon basin. This side event will detail various solutions devised and implemented to intervene against illegal mining via collaboration with civil society organizations who are monitoring the expansion of gold mining in real-time, compelling governments, and tracking the illicit financial flows that fuel its expansion.
Join Amazon Conservation and Forest Trends and hear directly from indigenous peoples and conservation experts from Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador as we explore how indigenous peoples are employing technology to support their territorial governance and leveraging the key role they play for climate and conservation, and their continued need for direct donor financing.
