Science in the Amazon needs local leadership

oglobo11 September 2026 at 04:04

The Amazon has been increasingly present in global debate, especially amid the climate and biodiversity crises. Governments, universities, international agencies, and companies have been announcing investments and reinforcing the discourse about the importance of the region for the planet's future.

The expectation is that these resources will generate more scientific knowledge, better solutions for Amazonian challenges, and impacts that go beyond the region's borders. However, the article raises a fundamental question: is more money, by itself, sufficient to transform the science produced in the Amazon?

The article suggests that local leadership is a crucial element that needs to be considered in this equation. The article addresses the need to involve and empower local researchers and institutions so that science in the Amazon can truly transform and respond to the region's specific needs.

Study proves that the native forests of the Azores managed to preserve arthropod communities

A more than 25-year study conducted by researchers from the universities of Lisbon and the Azores demonstrated that the native forests of the Azores managed to preserve and even expand arthropod communities, contradicting the global trend of decline in these species. This finding highlights that while the protection of native forests is effective, continuous monitoring remains essential for biodiversity conservation.
