About this grant

Ecoa – Ecology and Action works to protect the Pantanal region, as well as promoting sustainable development in the broader Plate River system, in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay. The overall goal of the project is to raise standards and improve environmental and social policies at public-sector financial institutions in South America.
