Abstract

Brazilian forests critical are for climate, water, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. The Atlantic Forest and the Amazon are among the most important tropical forests of the world but have different conservation status. The first is below its minimum threshold for biodiversity conservation while the Amazon is approaching its dieback threshold. Aiming to examine policy lessons from the Atlantic Forest which could be applied to the conservation of the Amazon, we first analysed the forest cover of basins of the Amazon compared to the reality of the Atlantic Forest. We found that regions of the Amazon already have forest cover similar to the Atlantic Forest and that 34% of them are below the dieback threshold. We propose policy lessons to avoid that the Amazon follow the same route of the Atlantic Forest and concluded that they need to be implemented urgently in a precautionary approach.

从大西洋森林到亚马逊保护的治理经验

巴西的森林对气候、水、生物多样性和生态系统服务至关重要。大西洋森林和亚马逊森林是世界上最重要的热带森林之一，但保护状况不同。前者低于生物多样性保护的最低阈值，而亚马逊雨林正接近其枯死阈值。为了研究大西洋森林可以应用于亚马逊保护的政策教训，我们首先分析了亚马逊盆地的森林覆盖与大西洋森林的现实情况。我们发现，亚马逊地区的森林覆盖率已经与大西洋森林相似，其中34%的森林低于枯死阈值。我们提出了政策教训，以避免亚马逊雨林重蹈大西洋森林的覆辙，并得出结论，需要以预防的方式紧急实施。

期刊介绍： Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation (PECON) is a scientific journal devoted to improving theoretical and conceptual aspects of conservation science. It has the main purpose of communicating new research and advances to different actors of society, including researchers, conservationists, practitioners, and policymakers. Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation publishes original papers on biodiversity conservation and restoration, on the main drivers affecting native ecosystems, and on nature’s benefits to people and human wellbeing. This scope includes studies on biodiversity patterns, the effects of habitat loss, fragmentation, biological invasion and climate change on biodiversity, conservation genetics, spatial conservation planning, ecosystem management, ecosystem services, sustainability and resilience of socio-ecological systems, conservation policy, among others.
