The Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization (ACTO) (Portuguese: Organização do Tratado de Cooperação Amazônica (OTCA)) is an international organization aimed at the promotion of sustainable development of the Amazon Basin. Its member states are: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela. The Amazon Cooperation Treaty (ACT) was signed on 3 July 1978 and amended in 1998. ACTO was created in 1995 to strengthen the implementation of the Treaty.[1] The Permanent Secretariat was later established in Brasília in 2002.
