The US Government and the Future of the Amazon Forest
Panel Discussion by Alexandre Alves of USAID Brazil, Meg Symington of WWF, Daniel Nepstad of the Earth Innovation Institute, Andrew Miller of Amazon Watch: The US election and the arrival of a new US Presidential administration could change many business, political and conservation priorities for the Amazon region. Diverse events ranging from presidential debate remarks to Paris agreement support have created much speculation. How will these changes impact South American environmental policy and the future of Amazon conservation? Several groups join us to discuss, including representatives from USAID Brazil, Amazon Watch, the World Wildlife Fund, and the Earth Innovation Institute.
