/ @atilaiamarino The name of our country and even the nickname “Brazilian”, given to those born in Brazil, has a historical connection with the exploitation of resources that dates back to the colonial period. The “Land of Brazil” was given this name thanks to the brazilwood, a tree that is now threatened with extinction. The Atlantic Forest, a biome that is very present on the Brazilian coast and therefore the first contact point for the Portuguese, was the first region to be deforested. In today’s video, Atila Iamarino will talk about the history of deforestation in our biomes, its impacts today and some measures needed to promote development in a sustainable manner. This is the first video in a series of 12 episodes that will address the Environment and Sustainability in Brazil.
