In Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, and across the Amazon, there is a growing trend to restore degraded lands to productive uses as part of the agendas for national economic development and climate change mitigation. There are opportunities in Ecuador to advance these commitments, and the broader economic and climate change mitigation and deforestation objectives, by customizing ranching and productive diversification practices to the specific needs of the region’s most prevalent ranching systems. This report explores this potential.
