Project description

The Amazon basin is known to be a hotspot of biodiversity with large areas of limited access to the outside industrial world. Indigenous communities have and continue to coexist sustainably in these forest systems, but the increasing effects of climate change, the global push for clean energy, and external pressures to seek employment in modern society have altered the dynamics between Indigenous cultural systems and forest ecology. This project seeks to increase w88 casino games login capacity, networking, and sustainability within Indigenous communities while enhancing knowledge of chemically mediated species interactions through Indigenous Knowledge. This interdisciplinary project combines approaches anthropology, ecology, chemistry and mathematics to gain insight on the mechanisms that maintain biodiversity in tropical systems and the subsequent effects on network resilience in a changing environment.
