The State Secretariat for the Environment and Sustainability (Semas) received an international delegation, composed of about 22 representatives from the governments of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Indonesia. The visit, held on Friday (25), was part of the exchange mission promoted by the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MMA), with support from German Cooperation (GIZ), under the "Strengthening the National Implementation of Global Biodiversity Goals (GBF Implementation)" Project.
The mission takes place from April 20 to 27, covering agendas in the cities of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Brasília (DF), and Belém (PA). The central objective is to promote the exchange of experiences and best practices in the implementation of National Strategies and Action Plans for Biodiversity (EPANB), as well as to strengthen international cooperation.
In the capital of Pará, the program began in the morning with a visit to the Utinga Camillo Vianna State Park, where the visitors learned about the conservation project for the ararajuba (Guaruba guarouba), a species of Amazonian fauna threatened with extinction. In the auditorium of the Visitor Center, the Semas team presented the policies implemented by the Government of Pará aimed at the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity.
In the afternoon, the delegation was received at the Environmental Training and Formation Center of Semas, where they learned about the environmental monitoring room and received technical explanations about the functioning of the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR). There were also presentations of the State Bioeconomy Plan (Planbio), the State Amazon Now Plan, and the State Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan.
Reference - During the meeting, the Deputy Secretary of Bioeconomy of Semas, Camille Bemerguy, highlighted the importance of cooperation between countries and the role of Pará as a reference in building integrated public policies for sustainable development.
“Receiving this international mission reinforces Pará's commitment to the bioeconomy agenda. Sharing our experiences while learning from other countries is essential for us to collaboratively advance in building sustainable solutions,” the manager stated.
The initiative reinforces Pará's prominence in the global environmental agenda and highlights the importance of cooperation between countries in building joint solutions aimed at biodiversity conservation and sustainable development.
