Conservation scientist Jos Barlow landed in Santarém, a small city on the Amazon River in northern Brazil, for annual fieldwork researching biodiversity and ecosystem services. It was November 2015 and large swaths of forest were on fire.
“Normally, you get off the plane, and you are hit by this wall of heat and humidity, but this time, you got off the plane, it was acrid smoke burning the back of your throat,” says Barlow. “The whole region was under a pall of smoke.”
A professor of conservation science at Lancaster University, Barlow presented at the 2021 AAAS Annual Meeting held earlier this month about his research studying restoration, biodiversity and climate adaptation in the Amazon.

As Amazon forest-to-savanna tipping point looms, solutions remain elusive
by Shanna Hanbury on 23 February 2021
Leading scientists project that if an additional 3-8% of rainforest cover is lost in the Amazon, it may overshoot a forest-to-degraded-savanna tipping point. That shift could mean mega-drought, forest death, and release of great amounts of stored carbon to the atmosphere from southern, eastern and central Amazonia.
Despite this warning, Brazilian Amazon deforestation hit an 11-year high in 2020. Government clampdowns on environmental crime greatly decreased deforestation in the past, but Brazil is now facing a political backlash led by President Jair Bolsonaro, resulting in agribusiness and mining expansion and deforestation.

To Plant or Not To Plant: Weighing Methods of Forest Regeneration
When should tree planting or the natural regeneration of forest be used to enjoy economic, climate and ecosystem benefits from reforestation?
The role of trees in the biological functioning of many natural ecosystems cannot be overstated. A healthy forest can retain water to prevent droughts, provide food for local animals and people, and keep planet-warming carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere.
