| A Swiss Non-profit Association It was founded in Geneva, Switzerland, in 2002. The goal of Aquaverde is to promote and support all initiatives thriving to bring a new dimension to the interaction between human society and environment, in the perspective of sustainable development and dignity of People. The Association concentrates its efforts in priority to the safeguard of water resources in the Amazon region. This biodiversity treasure is a center piece of the world's climatic regulation which transforms most of the carbonic gas into oxygen. The Amazon river and its hundreds of affluents, make up for one fourth of the planet's fresh water and play a crucial role on the rain cycle through the evapo-transpiration of trees. The Association supports projects which combine reforestation with a durable development economy for local populations thus proposing an economic alternative to deforestation. The general objective of the Association is to induce and promote new visions of north-south cooperation in development and international relations by the realization of a reciprocity based communication. |
