Liliana Dávalos explores the multifaceted environmental challenges facing the Amazon region. Host Heather Lynch and Dávalos, a professor in ecology & evolution at Stony Brook University, discuss the interplay between climate change, deforestation, illegal activities such as gold mining and drug trafficking, and the role of extractivist and Indigenous communities. Juan Pablo Iñamagua, a professor of agricultural sciences at Universidad de Cuenca, and Ane Alencar, IPAM Amazonia’s director of science, join the conversation to delve into the complexity of conservation efforts, the impact of global economic systems, and the vital importance of transboundary cooperation to protect the Amazon.
