Conservation X Labs hosted the first edition of the “Amazon CoLab: Connect” event in Puerto Maldonado, a gold mining hotspot in the Peruvian Amazon. 

The event created a space for interaction and community building for the innovators and partners participating in the Amazon CoLab, a six-month acceleration program to support teams developing, testing, and advancing solutions that address the environmental and social costs of artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) with regional partners in the Amazon.
