Não somente os direitos indígenas, garantidos pela Constituição Federal de 1988, estão ameaçados pela Proposta de Emenda Constitucional 215 de 2000 (PEC 215/00). Atualmente em discussão no Congresso Nacional, esta PEC, que também abarca propostas apensadas relativas aos territórios quilombolas e às Unidades de Conservação, impõe um risco potencial e adicional à maior floresta tropical do planeta: a Amazônica. Algo que poderá contribuir para a perda de conquistas importantes ligadas à redução do desmatamento e da degradação florestal na região.

A social-ecological approach to identify and quantify biodiversity tipping points in South America’s seasonal dry ecosystems

Tropical dry forests and savannas harbour unique biodiversity and provide critical ES, yet they are under severe pressure globally. We need to improve our understanding of how and when this pressure provokes tipping points in biodiversity and the associated...

The potential ecological costs and cobenefits of REDD: a critical review and case study from the Amazon region

Analysis of possible REDD program interventions in a large-scale Amazon landscape indicates that even modest flows of forest carbon funding can provide substantial cobenefits for aquatic ecosystems, but that the functional integrity of the landscape’s myriad small watersheds would be best protected under a more even spatial distribution of forests. Because of its focus on an ecosystem service with global benefits, REDD could access a large pool of global stakeholders willing to pay to maintain carbon in forests, thereby providing a potential cascade of ecosystem services to local stakeholders who would otherwise be unable to afford them.
