Woods Hole Research Center is an independent research institute where scientists investigate the causes and effects of climate change to identify and implement opportunities for conservation, restoration and economic development around the world. One of its longest running programs integrates training and research on global environmental change in the southwestern Amazon, based at Acre Federal University. This grant advances the goals of that program, with a focus on climate change resilience planning and training for the next generation of conservation leaders in the trinational MAP region of Peru, Brazil, and Bolivia. Principal activities include coordinating a civil society forum addressing climate change, establishing early warning and response systems for climate-driven extreme events, and building education and training programs for rural elementary students and their families, graduate students, and the general public about climate change and environmental stewardship.
