MEDIA & CULTURE FOR AMAZON BIOECONOMY IMPACT
December 7th, 2022 at 2:00 PM ET
There is a story of the Amazon to tell that is not about fires, destruction, and murder. It is a story of an Amazon rainforest that has the potential to be the world’s largest forest-positive and carbon-rich economy — a global hub for impact business development, conscious investment, and community leadership. In this session, representatives from the film and music industry share how we can use the power of media and storytelling to broadcast a new Amazon story of innovation, restoration, and impact.
