   Key Objectives of PAIR:

   
   

   • Stimulate scientific innovation: Encourage research in institutions with limited research capabilities by providing mentorship from top-tier institutions.

   • Support internationally competitive research: Promote research that can compete globally and have a significant impact.

   • Foster collaborative networks: Create strong collaborations between diverse institutions to share knowledge and resources.

4 .The Amazon rainforest, a vast expanse of lush greenery, is a vital part of our planet's ecosystem. It's the world's largest tropical rainforest, covering much of northwestern South America.

The Amazon is a vast biome that spans eight rapidly developing countries—Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, and Suriname—and French Guiana, an overseas territory of France.

The landscape contains

• about one in 10 known species on Earth

• 1.4 billion acres of dense forests

• 20% of the world's liquid freshwater

• 2.7 million square miles in the Amazon basin, about 40% of South America

There is a clear link between the health of the Amazon and the health of the planet. The rain forests, which contain an estimated 150-200 billion tons of carbon, help stabilize the local and global climate. Deforestation releases significant amounts of this carbon, which is having negative consequences around the world.
