**WHAT WE CAN ACHIEVE TOGETHER**:
**Generating conservation, social and economic value**
In collaboration with global and local organizations, and TNC teams, we will manage a portfolio of sustainable rural development, regenerative agriculture, public policy/environmental compliance, and restoration projects in private areas aimed at delivering direct conservation, economic and social impacts, generating value to farmers, agribusiness sector and other critical stakeholders, including the public sector and markets at the local, national and international levels.

**Maximizing the impact of conservation initiatives**
We will work with multi-stakeholders (farmer’s unions, ag. companies, financial sector, public sector agencies, investment agencies, civil society, market players and others) to propose, adapt and co-develop sustainable rural development projects, programs and policies at the local and state levels to support our ambitious 2030 conservation goals with inclusive and equitable low emissions development in the Amazon. We will closely work with national, regional and global TNC teams (Restoration, Provide Food and Water, Zero Conversion Commodities - ZCC, Regenerative Ranching and Agriculture - R2A, Freshwater, External Affairs, Science, Innovative economic and financial mechanisms

and others) to deliver higher synergic conservation impacts in the Amazon biome, securing long-term climate-resilient rural production and improvement of ecosystem services in private areas.

**Scaling sustainable production and transforming rural development**
In close collaboration and supporting other Conservation Hubs in the Brazilian Amazon and TNC’s global, regional and national teams, we will engage with key stakeholders, orchestrating transformative changes on markets, private sector, public policies, production practices & technology, that enable and accelerate a large-scale transition in the rural sector in the Brazilian Amazon, mobilizing resources and decisively contributing to climate mitigation and adaptation, as well as tackling social, economic and biodiversity challenges.
