description Beyond its many achievements, an analysis of the green alliances of the Pilot Program for the Protection of the Tropical Forests of Brazil (PPG7, Portuguese acronym), as well as the conflicts present in its creation and implementation, of the results achieved, and of the circumstances in which it came to an end, demonstrate that the PPG7 contributed little to the conservation of the forest, the institutional strengthening of the Amazon region, or its sustainable development. This is due to its neoliberal conception and institutional limitations. Trapped in the local, between risks and opportunities created by agribusiness in the Amazon, the PPG7 forgot the outstanding role of the national state in developing regions. Effective international cooperation on the environment will require new concepts of effectiveness, cooperation that is less top-down, and strengthening of the sustainability movement.

Más allá de sus múltiples éxitos, el análisis de las alianzas verdes del Programa Piloto para la Protección de los Bosques Tropicales de Brasil (PPG7), así como de los conflictos presentes en su creación y ejecución, de los resultados alcanzados y de las circunstancias de su finalización, muestra que el PPG7 contribuyó poco a la conservación del bosque, al fortalecimiento institucional de la región amazónica y a su desarrollo sostenible. Esto debido a su concepción neoliberal y limitaciones institucionales. Aprisionado por el localismo, entre los riesgos y las oportunidades creadas por el agronegocio para la Amazonía, el PPG7 olvidó el papel destacado del Estado nacional en las regiones en desarrollo. Una eficaz cooperación internacional al ambiente requerirá de nuevos conceptos de efectividad, de una cooperación menos hegemónica y un fortalecimiento del movimiento por la sustentabilidad.
