The Amazonia is a megadiverse region with much to contribute in the context of climate change, biodiversity goals, and equity. In this webinar we will present an Amazonian perspective regarding the current status of the rainforest, biodiversity, threats and measures that will help inform global, national, and local policy to achieve 80% protection of the region as an immediate mitigation strategy for the planet.
In this context, we identify an opportunity to broaden the perspective of strategies that contribute to the protection of the biocultural diversity and the role of indigenous peoples in protecting vast natural areas of the Amazon region for centuries. The results of our research seek to support the call of indigenous leaders to strengthen the participation of global stakeholders to avert an imminent tipping point that will trigger climate chaos.
