The biodiversity in the Amazon is amazing. The number of plant and animal species is higher here than anywhere else on this planet. But the biodiversity is also at risk. The rainforests are logged for timber and burnt down to open areas for grazing cattle and soy plantations. Mining and huge hydropower projects further increase deforestation and degradation. This research cooperation will provide knowledge for better understanding, monitoring and management of the biodiversity in the Amazon rainforest.
