Safeguarding Amazonia: Opening Session
Video of the opening session of the Princeton Wintersession workshop “Safeguarding Amazonia” — based on the innovative work of Brazilian startup MapBiomas — which was live-streamed for the public. Brazilian environmentalist Tasso Azevedo, director of MapBiomas, and his colleagues introduced the work of MapBiomas — a network of Brazilian scientific institutions, civil-society groups and startups — and how the creative mobilization of maps and visual evidence can be used to fight for environmental justice and against deforestation. The full workshop ran through Friday, Jan. 22, for registered Princeton faculty, staff and students.
The workshop was co-sponsored by the High Meadows Environmental Institute (HMEI), the Brazil LAB, the Department of Anthropology and the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies (PIIRS). It was organized by Brazil LAB director João Biehl, the Susan Dod Brown Professor of Anthropology; HMEI director Michael Celia, the Theodora Shelton Pitney Professor of Environmental Studies; and Miqueias Mugge, associate research scholar in PIIRS.
