The sustainable development of the Amazon has been one of the main topics of discussion about the importance of the Amazon territory for Brazil, and for the world, when we consider climate change and our power to stop it. The discussion has been mainly about the conservation of the Amazon territory, essential for the maintenance of the world’s productive systems.
However, we cannot fail to ponder on the fact that the Amazon territory not only comprises the environmental part, with its great nature and biodiversity, but it is also made up of the people and communities that inhabit the Amazon regions.
Conservation and sustainable development in the Amazon may seem antagonistic themes to those who have not been following the subject closely. Therefore, an important question has permeated the discussions on the subject: is it possible to promote development in the Amazon in a sustainable way, respecting the particularities and needs of its inhabitants and the environment?
To answer this and many other questions about the Brazilian Amazon, Synergia brought together the specialists who make up the Synergia Study Center and brought a special guest, who lives and works in the Altamira (PA) region, to discuss during Amazônia Brasileira – Panorama 2021: Challenges and vision of the future Broadcast.
