Fulbright Amazonia Scholars Present Policy Recommendations at Symposium in Washington
Media Note
December 9, 2024
Fulbright Amazonia Scholars are convening in Washington, D.C., from December 8–12, 2024 to share their findings with scientists, researchers, government officials, and the public following 18 months of collaborative research to support sustainability in the Amazon Basin. Fulbright Amazonia promotes innovative approaches that preserve the health of the Amazon and the well-being and traditions of its communities, building on the close collaboration between U.S. universities and counterpart institutions in the Amazon region.
The initiative, which furthers the collaborative work of nations committed to the region’s environmental sustainability, is open to scholars from the United States, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela.  Fulbright Amazonia is sponsored by the Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs with funding provided by the U.S. Government and the Fulbright Commission in Brazil, and directly supports efforts to foster a healthy and resilient Amazon basin through a collaborative research model. 
Scholars will present their research and policy recommendations in a week of events, including a public poster exhibition held at the National Academy of Sciences on December 9. On Thursday, December 12, there will be a live-streamed policy symposium [ https://www.fulbrightprogram.org/amazonia/ ].
