Amazon 2030 - Sustainability Issues in the World's Largest Rainforest Region
This book examines the socio-economic impacts on the indigenous populations and local communities who depend on the Amazon for their livelihood, culture, and heritage. By presenting contributions which entailed detailed research, expert interviews, and on-the-ground case studies, this book provides an in-depth analysis of the key factors contributing to the Amazon's decline, including deforestation, climate change, and illegal mining, among others. As authors venture into the year 2030, the Amazon Rainforest, often referred to as the planet's lungs, faces unprecedented challenges that threaten its existence and, by extension, the global ecosystem. This book delves into the heart of these issues, offering a comprehensive and poignant exploration of the sustainability crisis in the world's largest rainforest region. The narrative is structured to guide readers through the intricate web of environmental, economic, and social threads that define the Amazon's current predicament. It begins with an overview of the rainforest's vital role in global biodiversity and climate regulation, setting the stage for a deeper investigation into the threats it faces. Various chapters are dedicated to specific sustainability challenges, such as the expansion of agricultural frontiers, the exploitation of natural resources, and the consequences of political and corporate decisions on conservation efforts. The book also highlights innovative solutions and initiatives underway to preserve and restore the Amazon, showcasing successful conservation projects and sustainable development practices. The book also projects potential future scenarios for the Amazon, emphasizing the urgency of concerted global action to safeguard this irreplaceable natural treasure. It calls for a holistic approach that reconciles economic development with environmental stewardship and respects the rights and knowledge of indigenous peoples. It serves as a clarion call to action, urging readers to consider the legacy authors wish to leave for future generations.
Policing the Amazon
This edited collection discusses the rule of law in the Amazon and the capabilities of the region’s sovereign states to police their territory considering security matters. Comprised of nine countries, including a European Union member, the Amazon region features states facing political instability, poverty, social inequalities, high levels of corruption, and lack of trust by their populations. This context is aggravated by the presence of criminal organizations operating there and shaping transnational bonds. Notably, the world’s foremost cocaine-producing countries—Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia—are located in the region, presenting related turmoil and instability. Moreover, as home to the largest rainforest on Earth and the widest biodiversity, the region is an object of concern due to environmental reasons. The protection of these natural resources as well as the traditional peoples living there is intertwined with issues of development, security, and policing. The book delves into questions on the international agenda, such as: how is it possible to sustain the rule of law in the Amazon? What are the states’ capabilities for controlling the territory and enforcing the law? How do these states deal with the growing urban violence in the region? What are the capabilities of public authorities for proposing laws and policies, and judicial systems to process, prevent, and suppress different crimes such as drug dealing, smuggling, human trafficking, terrorism, and environmental crimes? The book fills a gap in English-language scholarship exploring the context of the rule of law in the Amazon and the impact on policing activities. It is ideal for a wide range of audiences, including policing scholars, law enforcement and community leaders, and students focusing on criminal justice and the Amazon.
