Conducting dialogues like this, involving different sectors of society, focused on the future of the Amazon is fundamental to strengthen actions that support socio-environmental aspects for the Amazon region and also combine development, technologies, and sustainability in the construction of a vertical and socio-biodiverse bioeconomy.
