Dados geoespaciais na prática: monitoramento comunitário de florestas tropicais por povos indígenas na região Amazônica
2 de abril de 2024
Neste webinar, exploraremos como as novas tecnologias, incluindo dados geoespaciais, usadas diretamente pelos povos indígenas, podem contribuir para a gestão eficaz de seus territórios, fornecendo-lhes informações acessíveis e atualizadas para monitorar ameaças e preservar seus recursos naturais. Com base em exemplos de iniciativas de monitoramento participativo do Brasil, Guiana e Peru, os palestrantes mostrarão como as novas tecnologias, incluindo aplicativos móveis, drones e imagens de satélite, estão sendo usadas para rastrear áreas de desmatamento e fornecer evidências convincentes para influenciar os tomadores de decisão na elaboração de políticas. Participe desta reunião para saber como as iniciativas comunitárias apoiadas por dados geoespaciais podem combater as ameaças ambientais e apoiar a proteção desses territórios de valor inestimável.

Alcançando a Meta 30x30 na América Latina e no Mundo – Guia para Implementação
9 de novembro de 2023
Uma meta principal do Quadro Global de Biodiversidade Kunming-Montreal (GBF, por sua sigla em inglês) visa garantir que 30 por cento das áreas terrestres, aquáticas e marinhas sejam efetivamente conservadas (Meta 3), refletindo o papel estratégico que as áreas de conservação desempenham na garantia de benefícios ambientais globais e a sua importância na concretização da visão global de um mundo que viva em harmonia com a natureza até 2050. Para ajudar os países a implementar actividades para atingir esta meta, um novo guia sobre a Meta 3: “30x30: Um guia para a implementação inclusiva, equitativa e eficaz da Meta 3 do Quadro Global de Biodiversidade Kunming-Montreal” foi desenvolvido pela WWF, pela Comissão Mundial de Áreas Protegidas (CMAP) da União Internacional para a Conservação da Natureza (UICN) e pela The Nature Conservancy (TNC), com financiamento do Fundo Global para o Meio Ambiente (GEF, por sua sigla em inglês). Trata-se de um guia introdutório para implementadores encarregados de proteger 30 por cento do planeta até 2030. Baseia-se na experiência de vários países, incluindo o Equador e o Chile, que discutirão as suas abordagens nacionais. Este webinar oferece aos participantes a oportunidade de discutir como atingir este ambicioso meta de forma inclusiva, equitativa e eficaz; com foco na Amazônia e na América Latina, mas com relevância para países ao redor do mundo que buscam proteger áreas de alta biodiversidade.

Financiando a Conservação – O Papel dos Títulos
19 de outubro de 2023
A segunda edição desta série de webinars organizada pelo ASL sobre Financiamento Sustentável para a Natureza exploraró o uso de títulos para catalisar novas fontes de financiamento da conservação. Os títulos apresentam uma maneira inovadora de alavancar fundos para a conservação da biodiversidade e a restauração de ecossistemas, financiando uma ampla gama de atividades de conservação, como o gerenciamento de áreas protegidas, meios de subsistência sustentáveis e restauração florestal. O mercado de títulos verdes cresceu rapidamente desde que o primeiro título foi emitido em 2007, atingindo uma emissão acumulada de US$ 1 trilhão até 2020. Com base em exemplos práticos de todo o mundo, especialistas nesta área explicaram como diferentes tipos de títulos estão sendo usados para liberar recursos para a conservação e como modelos semelhantes poderiam ser aplicados para proteger a floresta amazônica e melhorar os meios de subsistência.

Free flowing rivers in the Amazon region
February 16, 2021
Healthy rivers support freshwater fish stocks that improve food security for hundreds of millions of people, deliver sediment that keeps deltas above rising seas, mitigate the impact of extreme floods and droughts, prevent loss of infrastructure and fields to erosion, and support a wealth of biodiversity. New research in the Amazon shows 16 of the region’s 26 very long rivers currently remain free flowing, while planned dams would further reduce that number to 9. The webinar will present the results of the global and Amazon Basin assessments, opening a discussion of the global, regional, and national benefits of free flowing rivers, the environmental, social, and economic impacts of disrupting rivers’ connectivity, and recommendations for multisectoral planning and river protection approaches that align with development goals.

Valuing Nature Conservation – Quantifying the benefits of protecting the planet's natural capital
November 17, 2020
Much of the global economy depends on natural capital. Acting as the planet's balance sheet, natural capital provides critical services and resilience. It supports water cycles and soil formation while protecting our communities from major storms, floods, fires, and desertification. By absorbing CO2, it limits the pace of climate change. This webinar will focus on the results of the latest McKinsey and Company report "Valuing Nature Conservation: A methodology for quantifying the benefits of protecting the planet's natural capital".

Fires in the Brazilian Amazon—What’s Happening in 2019
September 18, 2019
The significant uptick of fires in the Brazilian Amazon observed in July and August garnered a tsunami of international attention. To better understand the situation, the ASL hosted a virtual technical meeting “Fogo na Amazônia: O que está acontecendo em 2019?“ to discuss essential information about the fires and its causes. The presentation by Ane Alencar, Science Director of the Institute for Environmental Research (IPAM, in Portuguese), provided an overview of the monitoring and analytical approaches being pursued by IPAM to understand historical deforestation patterns across various Brazilian biomes and land tenure categories. It focused on the complex interactions between deforestation, climatic factors, and land designation categories and their influence on fire incidence in the Amazon, highlighting how data gathered in the first eight months of 2019 shows a significant increase in fire incidence compared with recent historical patterns.
