Global discourses and the local impacts in Amazonia. Inclusion and exclusion processes in the Rio Negro region

Abstract: In the course of the climate change discussions, Amazonia, as the worlds largest continuous rain forest area, has achieved international attention. The significant role of the Amazon rain forest as the "green lung of the world's climate" and its importance as an almost inexhaustible archive of biogenetic resources for the future development of the planet earth, are constantly accented. The conservation of rain forests is often spoken of in the same breath as the protection of indigenous peoples, and partially … Show more

“…However, as stated before, the temporal resolution and the accuracy of the measurement systems do not allow to derive robust statements from our data whether there were changes in the puspa over time or not. Another source of uncertainty is that closer to the Andean crest precipitation events during the dry season are generally more frequent than in the main valley where the Huaraz precipitation was measured (Niedertscheider, 1990).…”

“…Scientific evidence of climate warming and of projected resulting impacts can provide the basis for a responsible and efficient adaptation strategy if implemented in a timely and careful fashion, but can also be misused to legitimize particular interests (Arnall et al, 2014;Dietz, 2011;Neuburger, 2008). While the physical aspects of climate change are, though complex, of relatively straightforward nature, societal processes in reaction to them are contingent upon and characterized by the different interests, positions and vulnerabilities of affected groups (Postigo et al, 2008;Sietz, 2014;Zimmerer, 1993).…”
