The 2025 Amazon Assessment Report of the Science Panel for the Amazon: Connectivity of the Amazon for a Living Planet

The 2025 Amazon Assessment Report of the Science Panel for the Amazon, entitled “Connectivity of the Amazon for a Living Planet”, brings sciences together that support ecological and sociocultural connectivity as the key strategy to conserve Amazonian ecosystems, advance sustainable development, and contribute to human and environmental well-being.

 

Ecological and sociocultural connectivity is defined as the interconnectedness among ecological and social systems, and it describes the flow and movement of resources, information, and people within and across geopolitical borders.

 

In this report, we focus on eight dimensions of connectivity, devoting a chapter to each: regional to global connectivity (Chapter 1), disruptions to connectivity (Chapter 2), connectivity for health (Chapter 3), transboundary collaboration (Chapter 4), the connectivity of Amazonian peoples (Chapter 5), connectivity in production landscapes (Chapter 6), connectivity for socio-bioeconomies (Chapter 7), and knowledge connectivity (Chapter 8).

 

Each chapter is followed by associated Calls to Action—short documents focusing on specific problems that need to be solved and on examples of solutions currently being implemented in the Amazon by diverse actors.
