O encontro marca um momento histórico de articulação indígena por territórios, justiça climática e autonomia, em preparação para a COP30, que será realizada em Belém, no Pará, em 2025. O primeiro dia do seminário está dedicado a diálogos e escutas coletivas, com debates sobre o significado da COP, a participação indígena nos espaços internacionais de decisão e os impactos diretos das mudanças climáticas nos territórios. A abertura conta com a presença de representantes da APIAM, COIAB, APIB, MPI, FUNAI e organizações parceiras. Painéis temáticos abordam desde a estrutura da COP e as estratégias de incidência política, até os conflitos territoriais e ambientais no estado, ressaltando a importância dos Planos de Gestão Territorial e Ambiental (PGTAs) como ferramenta de justiça climática e governança. No segundo dia, os debates se voltam para os desafios legais e institucionais que ameaçam os povos indígenas, como o Marco Temporal e grandes empreendimentos que avançam sobre os territórios. Também devem ser apresentadas iniciativas indígenas de sociobioeconomia, fundos de financiamento e projetos de futuro, destacando a autonomia política e econômica como pilares da resistência. Outro ponto central está focado na discussão sobre os impactos das mudanças climáticas nos modos de vida indígenas, enfatizando as ciências tradicionais e práticas sustentáveis como respostas concretas à crise global. O seminário deve se encerrar com a consolidação de propostas e aprovação de um documento final, que reúne as principais demandas, compromissos e estratégias de incidência do movimento indígena do Amazonas na COP30. Também serão apresentados os nomes escolhidos para compor a delegação indígena do estado, reforçando a unidade e a força política da representação amazônica. “A iniciativa do Ciclo COParente está fazendo história. Este Seminário é um marco da articulação indígena no Amazonas, mostrando que a liderança indígena é indispensável para enfrentar a crise climática e garantir justiça aos territórios. É com profundo respeito e reconhecimento que a WCS Brasil apoia e se une para somar forças, com a certeza de que não haverá futuro climático sem a centralidade das vozes indígenas”, ressaltou Ana Luiza Melgaço, coordenadora do Programa Povos e Territórios Indígenas, da WCS Brasil. Com atividades culturais de abertura e encerramento, o evento reafirma que a defesa dos territórios indígenas está no centro da luta contra a crise climática. Para os povos do Amazonas, o caminho até a COP30 passa pelo reconhecimento de sua autonomia, pela garantia de direitos e pelo protagonismo indígena na construção de soluções globais para o clima. O Ciclo COParente é uma iniciativa do Ministério dos Povos Indígenas (MPI), em parceria com a Fundação Nacional dos Povos Indígenas (FUNAI). No Amazonas, o Seminário Estadual – Pré-COP30 Indígena é organizado pela APIAM, em articulação com a COIAB e demais organizações indígenas, com o apoio de parceiros como a WCS, que somam esforços para fortalecer a luta dos povos indígenas em defesa de seus territórios e na construção de respostas à crise climática. aguazzelli@wcs.org Fri, 19 Sep 2025 19:34:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:25226 https://brasil.wcs.org/pt-br/WCS-Brazil/News/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/17748/Estados-Unidos-se-unem-ao-UNODC-e-WCS-para-prevenir-crimes-ambientais-na-Bacia-Amazonica.aspx#Comments 0 https://brasil.wcs.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=4135&ModuleID=7694&ArticleID=17748 https://brasil.wcs.org:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=17748&PortalID=93&TabID=4135 https://brasil.wcs.org/pt-br/WCS-Brazil/News/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/17748/Estados-Unidos-se-unem-ao-UNODC-e-WCS-para-prevenir-crimes-ambientais-na-Bacia-Amazonica.aspx O Escritório das Nações Unidas sobre Drogas e Crime (UNODC) e a Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), em parceria com a Agência dos Estados Unidos para o Desenvolvimento Internacional (USAID), apresentaram, nesta terça-feira (28/07), as iniciativas Conservando Juntos e ECOS, em cerimônia em Lima, no Peru, com a presença de autoridades governamentais, Ministério Público, corpo diplomático e representantes de organizações da sociedade civil. A conservação da bacia amazônica é uma das prioridades da USAID, por isso, através dessas iniciativas regionais, contribui para tornar esta região florestal saudável e resiliente, garantindo o bem-estar das populações que a habitam. O evento de lançamento contou com a presença do Ministro Conselheiro da Embaixada dos Estados Unidos no Peru, John McNamara, que destacou a importância de valorizar a Amazônia e trabalhar com os governos e a sociedade civil do Brasil, Colômbia, Equador, Guiana, Peru e Suriname para desafios transnacionais na região amazônica. O Ministro Conselheiro mencionou os dois projetos, através dos quais a USAID investirá 28 milhões de dólares nos próximos 4 anos. Em nome da WCS, Daniela Pogliani, vice-diretora do projeto Conservando Juntos, destacou o papel da sociedade civil na promoção da conservação da biodiversidade amazônica, na defesa dos direitos de seus povos e na prevenção de crimes ambientais. “Os membros da sociedade civil, todos nós, temos um papel importante quando compramos, vendemos, votamos, fazemos voluntariado ou participamos de eventos sociais e culturais. Cabe a nós fazer a diferença”, destacou Pogliani durante o evento. Jorge Rios, chefe do Programa Global de Crimes que Afetam o Meio Ambiente do UNODC, destacou a importância do trabalho interagencial e participativo que o projeto ECOS – Cooperação Regional para o Enfrentamento de Crimes Ambientais – promove. Conservando Juntos trabalha no fortalecimento de redes de colaboração regional da sociedade civil que conectam experiências de povos indígenas e comunidades locais, empresas privadas, meios de comunicação, redes de jornalistas e outras organizações, para conservar a biodiversidade e prevenir os crimes ambientais na Amazônia do Brasil, Colômbia, Equador e Peru. Por sua vez, o ECOS, implementado pelo UNODC em parceria com a USAID, busca melhorar a cooperação regional, a capacidade dos atores do sistema judiciário e da aplicação da lei para detectar, interceptar, investigar e judicializar crimes contra a conservação no Brasil, Colômbia, Equador, Guiana, Peru e Suriname.

The increase in fire frequency is extremely troubling. The Amazon is the largest intact tropical forest in the world.  It produces about 20 percent of the planet's pure air and this increase in the rate of its loss has global impacts.

The distribution of feral pigs — which are also known as wild boars, or “javali” in Portuguese, and are actually the same species as the domestic pig (Sus scrofa) — has increased five-fold since they were first recorded in Brazil in 2007.A group of Brazilian researchers found that not only might populations of vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) explode as a result of this invasion of feral pigs, but associated threats, such as the spread of infectious diseases, could increase as well. The results of their study were published in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment earlier this month. agarrido@wcs.org Thu, 23 Mar 2017 15:59:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:9939 https://brasil.wcs.org/pt-br/WCS-Brazil/News/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/9453/Scientists-Produce-a-New-Roadmap-For-Guiding-Development-Conservation-Efforts-in-the-Amazon.aspx#Comments 0 https://brasil.wcs.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=4135&ModuleID=7694&ArticleID=9453 https://brasil.wcs.org:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=9453&PortalID=93&TabID=4135 https://brasil.wcs.org/pt-br/WCS-Brazil/News/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/9453/Scientists-Produce-a-New-Roadmap-For-Guiding-Development-Conservation-Efforts-in-the-Amazon.aspx New river basin classification will help safeguard region’s biodiversity and monitor infrastructure developmeScientists from WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society), the Nature Conservancy, and several partners in Brazil and Peru have produced a geographic information system (GIS) “roadmap” to help guide conservation efforts at large scale in the Amazon River basin, a region roughly the size of the United States.The new spatial framework—created with several major data sets and GIS technology—is made up of a new hydrological and river basin classification, along with various spatial analysis tools, that can be used to better understand and mitigate the synergistic effects of deforestation and new or planned highways and dams across the Amazon Basin. agarrido@wcs.org Fri, 23 Dec 2016 08:05:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:9453 https://brasil.wcs.org/pt-br/WCS-Brazil/News/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/9396/Vampire-Bats-and-Feral-Pigs-A-Bad-Combination-for-Wildlife-and-People.aspx#Comments 0 https://brasil.wcs.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=4135&ModuleID=7694&ArticleID=9396 https://brasil.wcs.org:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=9396&PortalID=93&TabID=4135 https://brasil.wcs.org/pt-br/WCS-Brazil/News/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/9396/Vampire-Bats-and-Feral-Pigs-A-Bad-Combination-for-Wildlife-and-People.aspx A camera trap survey conducted by WCS and other groups to survey wildlife in rural locations in Brazil’s Atlantic forest and Pantanal regions produced a big surprise: the unexpected frequency of vampire bats feeding on both wildlife and livestock in both areas.  agarrido@wcs.org Fri, 18 Nov 2016 14:03:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:9396 https://brasil.wcs.org/pt-br/WCS-Brazil/News/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/9308/WCS-Brazil-Launches-Pantanal-Science-to-Bridge-Gap-Between-Researchers-Communities.aspx#Comments 0 https://brasil.wcs.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=4135&ModuleID=7694&ArticleID=9308 https://brasil.wcs.org:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=9308&PortalID=93&TabID=4135 https://brasil.wcs.org/pt-br/WCS-Brazil/News/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/9308/WCS-Brazil-Launches-Pantanal-Science-to-Bridge-Gap-Between-Researchers-Communities.aspx Seeking to bridge the gap between scientists and the public, WCS Brazil and its collaborators have published Ciência Pantanal (Pantanal Science), a new scientific journal designed to inform rural communities of the latest in environmental studies and issues. agarrido@wcs.org Fri, 19 Aug 2016 07:09:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:9308 https://brasil.wcs.org/pt-br/WCS-Brazil/News/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/8292/WCS-Brasil-offers-training-in-Large-Scales-Wildlife-Monitoring.aspx#Comments 0 https://brasil.wcs.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=4135&ModuleID=7694&ArticleID=8292 https://brasil.wcs.org:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=8292&PortalID=93&TabID=4135 https://brasil.wcs.org/pt-br/WCS-Brazil/News/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/8292/WCS-Brasil-offers-training-in-Large-Scales-Wildlife-Monitoring.aspx The Wildlife Conservation Society, in partnership with Proteus Wildlife Research Consultants and the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, with support from the Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation, is proud to offer the following training opportunity:Cost-effective wildlife monitoring at large scales: Introduction to site-occupancy and mark-recapture methods.Course dates & Location: 15-20 February, 2016.

The event united a number of regional landowners, landowner associations and researchers representing Universities, NGO’s, Government organizations, etc. agarrido@wcs.org Fri, 08 Aug 2014 09:17:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:2613 https://brasil.wcs.org/pt-br/WCS-Brazil/News/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1357/Thousands-of-Baby-Turtles-Hatch-in-Brazil.aspx#Comments 0 https://brasil.wcs.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=4135&ModuleID=7694&ArticleID=1357 https://brasil.wcs.org:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=1357&PortalID=93&TabID=4135 https://brasil.wcs.org/pt-br/WCS-Brazil/News/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1357/Thousands-of-Baby-Turtles-Hatch-in-Brazil.aspx This week, scientists in Brazil weren’t kidding when they said that they “hit the mother lode.” They were referring to a mass hatching of an estimated 210,000 giant South American river turtles at the Abufari Biological Reserve. It’s one of the largest known hatchings for the species,Podocnemis expansa. Researchers from the Wildlife Conservation Society and the Chico Mendes Institutefor Biodiversity Conservation were able to mark and release 15,000 of the hatchings. The methodology is usually referred to as “mark and recapture,” and it will allow the researchers to estimate the size of the turtle’s population in the future.

The idea is to promote sustainable land-use, improving the farmers livelihoods and protecting and recuperating regional streams and forests.

The benefit for the farmer is that their pasture biomass and milk production both increase.

The threats causing this decline are habitat loss, illegal hunting, competition with livestock, and epidemics, and it is even disappearing from areas of pristine habitat in the Amazon rainforest. It is uncertain whether the existing network of reserves is adequate to allow the formation of large herds of this species, or that there is sufficient connectivity between reserves to permit recovery when populations crash due to disease epidemics or other reasons.

A short description of the observations, along with the digital photographs taken, will appear in the latest edition of Suiform Soundings(IUCN Peccary Specialist Group Newsletter). "As far as we know, these are the first images of fish consumption by white-lipped peccaries," said Dr. Alexine Keuroghlian of the Wildlife Conservation Society and an expert on peccaries. "This finding expands our knowledge of how this ecologically important species survives in highly seasonal habitats."

Although they are studying very different aspects of the region, both are working toward a common goal — to understand the biological and environmental effect cattle ranching is having on this vital region. Keuroghlian's specialty is peccaries, a pig-like animal that uses the Pantanal and adjacent areas as its home. They have been significantly affected by the fragmenting of habitat into small secluded "islands" because of the demands placed on the region by pasturing cattle. Eighty percent of the beef consumed in Brazil is raised in the Pantanal.   Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:56:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:844
