Science has a critical role to play in guiding more sustainable development trajectories. Here, we present the Sustainable Amazon Network (Rede Amazônia Sustentável, RAS): multidisciplinary research initiative involving than 30 partner organizations working assess both social and ecological dimensions of land-use sustainability eastern Brazilian Amazonia. The approach adopted by RAS offers three advantages for addressing problems: (i) collection synchronized co-located socioeconomic data...
Consuming wildmeat may protect against iron-deficiency anemia, a serious public health problem globally. Contributing to debates on the linkages between and of forest-proximate people, we investigate whether consumption is associated with hemoglobin concentration in rural urban children (< 5 years old) central Brazilian Amazonia. Because dietary practices mediate potential nutritional benefits wildmeat, also examined its introduction into children's diets influenced by rural/urban location...
Despite growing interest in urban vulnerability to climatic change, there is no systematic understanding of why some centers have greater social than others. In this article, we ask whether the Amazonian cities floods and droughts linked differences their spatial accessibility. To assess accessibility 310 centers, developed a travel network derived measures connectivity geographical remoteness. We found that 914,654 people live roadless (n = 68) located up 2,820 km from state capital. then...
Scientists have warned for several years that food systems become major drivers of environmental degradation, malnutrition, and insecurity. In this paper, we present arguments from specialists suggest that, in the transition to more sustainable systems, biodiversity security can be mutually supportive, rather than conflicting goals. We divided opinions these scientists into two "Big Topics". First, they examine synergies challenges intersection security. second section, explain how various...
This article presents qualitative research of a case study type, carried out with group 27 educators who were strengthening their knowledge online education to greater depth. Online requires pedagogical mediation and the skills competencies work technological resources which promote interaction, collaboration, co-learning. From this perspective, following question was posed: what is needed for in order production? The data collected analysed according Bardin (2011) assistance Atlas Ti...
SUMMARY Identifying the drivers of bushmeat consumption and hunting is important for informing conservation strategies recognizing challenges to human food security. However, studies often neglect importance landscape context, which can influence supply demand. Here, by quantifying in 262 households a post-frontier region Amazonia, we tested hypotheses that are positively associated with two characteristics: (1) forest cover, has been shown define game availability; (2) remoteness, related...
Background The double burden of malnutrition (DBM) in the same individual is a neglected public health concern, especially low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). DBM associated with increased risks non-communicable diseases, childbirth complications, healthcare costs related to obesity adulthood. However, evaluating low prevalence outcomes relatively small populations challenging using conventional frequentist statistics. Our study used Bayesian latent models estimate at individual-level...
Faeces provide relevant biological information which includes, with the application of genetic techniques, sex and identity individuals that defecated, thus providing potentially useful data on behaviour ecology individuals, as well dynamics structure populations. This paper presents estimates ratio different felid species (jaguar, Panthera onca; puma, Puma concolor; ocelot/margay, Leopardus pardalis/Leopardus wiedi) observed in field collected faeces, proposes several hypotheses could...
Understanding the multiple ways people value forests is important, as individual values regarding nature have been shown to partly determine willingness participate in conservation initiatives. As are influenced by past experiences, way may be related ecosystem services they use and receive. We here aim investigate if because of material non-material benefits forest provide (material values), these defined previous experiences associated with using resources having frequent contact forests....
Abstract Research demonstrates substantial urban consumption of wildmeat and the existence trade networks in Brazilian Amazon. Yet rural–urban mobility persists this urbanized region, with circulation people, goods ideas, blurring boundaries between rural lives. Here we examined relationships access highly forested areas central Amazonia. We surveyed 798 households four towns 311 63 riverine communities. Rural–urban was common amongst households: 49.7% maintained livelihoods 57.3% were...
Fishing provides livelihoods and food for millions of people in the Global South yet inland fisheries are under-researched neglected nutrition policy. This paper goes beyond rural focus existing research examines how urban households may use fishing as a livelihood strategy coping with insecurity. Our study Brazilian Amazonia is based on random sample (n = 798) four remote riverine towns. We quantitatively examine inter-connections between insecurity, find that widespread among...
We examine ways in which the role of wild animals Amazonian food system may be socially differentiated and species-specific. combine a hybrid framework choice preferences theorizing on access to natural resources with fieldwork Brazilian Amazon, where social environmental challenges coalesce around wildlife feeding growing urban population. Based 798 household surveys across four towns, we found that consumption of, taste for, selected species mammals, fishes, birds, reptiles are related...
