Brazilian ecologists try new approach against deforestation in the Amazon

In a remote corner of the Amazon, Brazilian ecologists are trying to succeed where a lack of governance has proved disastrous. They're managing a stretch of land in a way that welcomes both local people and scientists to engage in preserving the world's largest tropical forest. The goal is ambitious, counter the forces that have destroyed 10 per cent of the forest in less than four decades and create something that can be replicated in other parts of the Amazon. It began with a four-month expedition along the Juru River in 2016. Researchers visited some 100 communities that at first sight looked similar: rows of wooden homes on stilts along the water. But they were struck by contrasts in the living conditions. To understand what they saw, it's important to know that 29 per cent of the Amazon, an area roughly three times the size of California, is either public land with no special protection, or public land for which no public information exists, according to a study by the Amazon .
