By presenting contributions which entailed detailed research, expert interviews, and on-the-ground case studies, this book provides an in-depth analysis of the key factors contributing to the Amazon's decline, including deforestation, climate change, and illegal mining, among others. As authors venture into the year 2030, the Amazon Rainforest, often referred to as the planet's lungs, faces unprecedented challenges that threaten its existence and, by extension, the global ecosystem. This book delves into the heart of these issues, offering a comprehensive and poignant exploration of the sustainability crisis in the world's largest rainforest region. The narrative is structured to guide readers through the intricate web of environmental, economic, and social threads that define the Amazon's current predicament. It begins with an overview of the rainforest's vital role in global biodiversity and climate regulation, setting the stage for a deeper investigation into the threats it faces. Various chapters are dedicated to specific sustainability challenges, such as the expansion of agricultural frontiers, the exploitation of natural resources, and the consequences of political and corporate decisions on conservation efforts. The book also highlights innovative solutions and initiatives underway to preserve and restore the Amazon, showcasing successful conservation projects and sustainable development practices. The book also projects potential future scenarios for the Amazon, emphasizing the urgency of concerted global action to safeguard this irreplaceable natural treasure. It calls for a holistic approach that reconciles economic development with environmental stewardship and respects the rights and knowledge of indigenous peoples. It serves as a clarion call to action, urging readers to consider the legacy authors wish to leave for future generations.PPN: PPN: 1927327261Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-EES | ZDB-2-SXEE
