  • Environmental impact assessments for development projects in Amazon countries have evolved from highly biased, centralized procedures to more rigorous processes that aim to avoid conflicts of interest.
  • EIAs have also become increasingly focused on the social impacts of development and on how to mitigate them or compensate affected communities.
  • Large-scale development projects are generally reviewed by national-level entities while less controversial initiatives can be attributed to regional governments.
