The case study illustrates the limitations or risks associated with informal arrangements. At the same time a number of entry points are identified to strengthen collaboration in Brazil, mainly capitalizing on recent developments in the country’s policy and regulatory framework.

Furthermore, insufficient human resources intended to follow the high demanding biodiversity conservation agenda in Brazil hinders the establishment of an appropriate coordination arrangement among the NFPs of the Biodiversity-related Conventions.
