"Welcome to the largest rainforest in the world, a vast wonder just waiting for you to explore. Follow along as pink dolphins dart through the flooded river, vampire bats swoop down from the trees, and giant green anacondas slowly slither across the forest floor. This humongous habitat is home to millions of plants, animals, and people. But large as it may be, the Amazon Rainforest is in danger--and shrinking fast. Learn more about this amazing place and discover what you can do to help save the rainforest!"--

"Follow along as a researcher observes and makes journal entries about their field trip through the Amazon rain forest ecosystem. Outstanding photographs highlight the animals, plants, and people that inhabit the world's largest tropical rain forest stretching across eight countries in South America. Simple graphs show how much the rain forest has changed, and the final report describes efforts being made to preserve it"--Provided by publisher

"This illustrated children's book explores the Amazon Rainforest and its ecosystem--including the plants and animals that live within it, as well as its value to humanity throughout history and to the modern era--through a series of questions and answers"--

The paper is a presentation of the covering upon of all the prime issues social, political, cultural or natural, which are responsible for the happening of the Amazon rainforest fires, which is very immediate and current issue. Not to be shocked, the event has catched all the eyeballs of the leaders as well as environmentalists in general. There has been a comparative study of the event on the basis of two national newspapers and one regional newspaper. The facts and figures remain the same, but the series of events which ultimately led to this horrifying incident differs in every paper. On the grounds of these varying events, the issue is a trial to be seen in the light of various angles. There can no one single valid point which can be established as the reason, but the equal or unequal contribution of these issues led to the flares of fire, which ultimately harmed the lungs of earth.

In May 2017, I travelled to Ecuador with a team of MacEwan University reporters to cover the Tiputini Biodiversity Station, a research facility located in the western Amazon rainforest. After spending a week at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito to liaise with academics, and a weekend in the Ecuadorian Amazon to visit the station and its staff, we collected enough material to produce The Tiputini Project, a magazine exploring the economic, political, environmental stakes of natural resource extraction in one of the most biodiverse places on the planet. Besides serving as the magazine's copy chief, I produced photography and video, as well as a long-form professional profile of the station's founding director, Dr. Kelly Swing.

Many human activities in the region rely on Pantanal's ecosystem services including cattle breeding for beef production, professional and touristic fishing, and contemplative tourism. The conservation of natural resources and ecosystems services provided by the Pantanal wetland must consider strategies for water security. We explored precipitation data from 1926 to 2016 provided by a regional network of rain gauge stations managed by the Brazilian Government. A timeseries obtained by dividing the monthly accumulated-rainfall by the number of rainy days indicated a positive trend of the mean rate of rainy days (mm/day) for the studied period in all seasons. We assessed the linkage of Pantanal's rainfall patterns with large-scale climate data in South America provided by NOAA/ESRL from 1949 to 2016. Analysis of spatiotemporal correlation maps indicated that, in agreement with previous studies, the Amazon biome plays a significant role in controlling summer rainfall in the Pantanal. Based on these spatiotemporal maps, a multi-linear regression model was built to predict the mean rate of summer rainy days in Pantanal by 2100, relative to the 1961-1990 mean reference. We found that the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest has profound implications for water security and the conservation of Pantanal's ecosystem services. (c) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
