As realidades das mudanças climáticas e do uso da terra são gritantemente evidentes na Amazônia.
- Professor of Conservation Science, Lancaster University
The realities of climate and land use change are jarringly obvious in Amazonia.
Secondary forests are growing on deforested land in the Amazon – but not enough to offset emissions from logging.
Nous en savons étonnamment peu sur les millions d’animaux, de plantes et d’oiseaux qui peuplent l’Amazonie.
We know surprisingly little about the millions of animals, plants and birds that live in the Amazon – here’s how we can understand them better.
Fires that burn the forest burn crops and pastures alike. But farmers in the eastern Amazon are left with few good options.
Les espèces des forêts tropicales n'ont pas évolué avec le feu - et même un feu de forêt de faible intensité peut tuer la moitié des arbres.
Les espèces des forêts tropicales n’ont pas évolué de concert avec le feu. Dans ces zones, même un incendie de faible intensité peut tuer la moitié des arbres.
Rainforest species didn’t co-evolve with fire – and even a low intensity wildfire can kill half the trees.
Forest fires emit twice as much carbon in the Brazilian Amazon as deforestation, according to new research.
Brazil claims mining and logging will boost the economy and help it protect the environment. But there is little evidence this works.
Indonesia’s haze made global headlines but an intense dry season has also sparked major fires in Brazil.
