The future of the Amazon will be debated by environmental leaders from the United States and Latin America during the conference “Amazon and our planetary future: a conference on climate change”, which will take place on May 7 and 8 at Harvard University, in the USA.
At the conference, leaders will discuss business models that combine economic development with environmental conservation, and will address deforestation and its interactions with climate and public health; the importance of indigenous peoples in the Amazon; initiatives linked to river economies and tropical forests throughout the Amazon; and projects to map Brazil's land use coverage and monitor deforestation in all of the country's biomes.
