The University of Florida’s Tropical Conservation and Development program is working with regional partners in Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, and Peru to create a Community of Practice for learning and reflection on the use of tools and strategies to improve social-environmental governance and reduce threats from infrastructure development.
The ADN mission is to build capacity for the advancement of inter- and transdisciplinary research on the social-ecological impacts of hydroelectric dam construction in the Amazon. The network aims to synthesize and share lessons learned from hydroelectric dam implementation in the Amazon and the United States focusing on an adaptive management approach within the complex social-ecological systems (SES) theory.

With funding from the Church of Scotland, and further support from the Irish Methodist Church, we worked with our partners to introduce renewable technology through the use of solar ovens in indigenous and farming communities in the Amazon.
The project helped to improve the wellbeing of families, and helped them to access food in times of crisis. It also reduced deforestation, with communities using 50% less firewood, and decreasing the daily burden on women who generally spend many hours gathering wood.
