We present another edition of the Bioamazon Newsletter with news about ACTO’s actions in the period of March and April. As we expected, activities were intense in these months.

The Bioamazon Project started its journey of visits to ACTO Member Countries in Ecuador. The main objective is to hold working, coordination and evaluation meetings with partner institutions within the scope of the effective implementation of the Bioamazon Project, of the Amazon Regional Observatory (ORA).

We invite you to read in the Amazon Countries section the technical articles on the population situation of the caiman (Caiman yacare) and the black caiman (Melanosuchus niger) in Bolivia and on the population situation of three species of freshwater rays Potamotrygon motoro, P. orbignyi and P. falkneri in the Peruvian Amazon. Likewise, we invite you to read the information about the training course on tropical timber identifiation methodologies that will be held from May 9th to 13th, at the facilities of the Amazon Regional Observatory, in Brasília, Brazil, and which will be attended by representatives of the eight ACTO Members Countries.

Finally, in the Agenda section, we share information about the side event that ACTO will held within the framework of the 17th Session of the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF), on May 11, 2022.
