The ASL Xingu Project: Integrating Forests, Peoples, and Waters is coordinated by the National Secretariat for Biodiversity, Forests, and Animal Rights of the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (SBIO/MMA) and implemented by Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV Europe), in partnership with the State Secretariat for Environment and Sustainability of Pará (SEMAS/PA), the Institute for Forest Development and Biodiversity of Pará (IDEFLOR-Bio), the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio), the Brazilian Forest Service (SFB), and ten municipalities in Pará: Gurupá, Altamira, Senador José Porfírio, São Félix do Xingu, Porto de Moz, Abaetetuba, Melgaço, Itaituba, Portel, and Prainha.

With an investment of approximately R$45 million and a four-year duration (2026–2030), the initiative will operate in ten municipalities and thirteen areas of the Lower and Middle Xingu in Pará, strengthening biodiversity conservation, territorial governance, the socio-bioeconomy, and integration among federal, state, and municipal public policies. In total, the project will cover an area of more than 4.3 million hectares of forests, rivers, and traditional and rural territories.

ASL Xingu is part of the Regional ASL Program (Amazon Sustainable Landscapes), implemented by the World Bank and funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), which brings together Amazonian countries for integrated landscape management.
