Forest Governance & International Cooperation
Independent advisory connecting Amazon realities with environmental policy and international cooperation.
Embedded Files
MKX is an independent advisory led by Artur Sgambatti Monteiro, bringing more than 15 years of experience across the Amazon, Latin America, Europe and Africa. It combines field-based knowledge with policy analysis, programme strategy, evaluation and international cooperation.
MKX works at the intersection of forest governance, climate and nature finance, and socio-environmental safeguards. We support governments, donors, civil-society organisations, research institutions and territorial organisations in turning complex environmental challenges into practical strategies, programmes and evidence.

Our Approach
Our Approach
Territory first
Start from institutions, people, incentives and constraints on the ground, rather than fitting local realities into donor-driven frameworks.
Participation as governance
Treat consultation, Indigenous and local knowledge, and stakeholder engagement as part of programme design and accountability, not as a procedural annex.
Evidence with judgement
Combine quantitative evidence, policy analysis and qualitative knowledge to support decisions, not merely to produce reports.
Bridge scales
Connect community and territorial perspectives with national policy, international cooperation and climate/nature finance.
