Part 2 %X The Amazon represents one of the most biodiverse regions in the world, much of which is poorly known and highly threatened by conversion to agriculture. Because of the low capacity in the region to conduct science, conduct conservation planning, and enforce laws and regulations, it is also at high risk. Global climate change is exacerbating local land-use impacts that are affecting the regions climate on a landscape scale. For the unique climate and functioning system of the Amazon to persist in the future, halting forest loss is imperative, or the thermal and water balances largely creating the unique landscape will collapse. %@area MET %@electronicmailaddress %@electronicmailaddress %@electronicmailaddress %@electronicmailaddress gilvan.sampaio@inpe.br %@e-mailaddress gilvan.sampaio@inpe.br %@documentstage not transferred %@group %@group %@group %@group CST-CST-INPE-MCTI-GOV-BR %@isbn 9781610911702 %@usergroup lattes %@usergroup secretaria.cpa@dir.inpe.br %@nexthigherunit 8JMKD3MGPCW/3F3T29H %@affiliation %@affiliation %@affiliation %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@versiontype publisher %@doi 10.5822/978-1-61091-203-7_4 %2 dpi.inpe.br/plutao/2012/06.21.19.19.38
