Excited to have this paper out - important work is being done to combat encroachment into Conservation Units and Indigenous Territories in Brazil but much more is needed.
In order to fulfill their role as the cornerstone of forest conservation, Protected Areas need to be protected.

New research via @UWMadison detailing how livestock producers encroached on protected areas in the Amazon has been selected as a feature paper for @Land_MDPI

It was a pleasure to participate in this reporting on this important topic. I always learn so much when smart journalists like @Youssr_Youssef invite me to chat for stories like this.
🐮 In this @FbdnStories investigation, @Youssr_Youssef dives deeper into Brazil's beef industry and how it contributes to #climatechange through deforestation. buff.ly/3OVp8Ie

Excited about this project! Connecting the dots between various strategies to combat commodity-driven deforestation in the Amazon.
Recently, the presidency highlighted “Amazon Connect," a @USAID project and partners with @NelsonInstitute professor Holly Gibbs' lab. Amazon Connect is part of the U.S. government’s response to #climatechange, job creation & global forest conservation. bit.ly/3mHxwMo

Excited to be part of this new grant with some amazing partners!
Protecting the #Amazon has never been so important: That’s why we are thrilled to announce Solidaridad’s new USAID-funded ‘Amazonia Connect’ activity, promoting deforestation-free production in Brazil, Colombia and Peru. Stay tuned for more info!
