The Andes Amazon Protected Areas Database (AAPAD)

The Andes Amazon Protected Areas Database is a project financed by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation (GBMF) and executed by the Department of Sustainable Development at the Organization of American States (OAS-DSD). The main goal of this project is to develop an online database with information about the status of the protected areas in the Andes – Amazon region. The database is one of many tools to gauge management effectiveness, to facilitate decision makers, and better target investments in biodiversity conservation and management.
