Unsplash, Consulted 2020. Innovations in Approaches to Forest Conservation and Recovery Never before has so much funding or attention been devoted to tropical forests. Norway alone is investing approximately US $500 million to unlock the potential of tropical forests as part of a global solution to climate change. Approximately 190 entities, including governments, companies, and nongovernmental organizations, signed the New York Declaration on Forests in 2014, committing to help reduce tropical deforestation 50 percent by 2020 and completely by 2030. At the 2019 Climate Summit in New York City, a third of the events focused on nature-based solutions to climate change, all of which involve forests. The reason for this elevated interest in tropical forests is the urgency of addressing climate change. Slowing the loss and speeding the recovery of tropical forests could account for a fourth or more of the emissions reductions that will be needed in 2030 to avoid catastrophic climate change (Griscom et al.

  • Introduction
    Introduction In order to commemorate the centenary of Roger Casement’s first voyage to the Amazon, this special issue of ABEI Journal No. 12 focuses on one of the most controversial figures of the 1916 Easter Rising. Roger Casement played an important role during the Amazon rubber boom and his writings about his Brazilian expeditions may be placed in the wider context of antislavery activism. He was British Consul in Santos (September 1906 - January 1908), in Belém do Pará (February 1908 - February 1909) and Consul-General in Rio de Janeiro (March 1909 - August 1913). In 1910, he travelled to the Amazon, commissioned by the British Government to investigate crimes against humanity being committed on the border between Peru, Colombia and Brazil. The story of the rubber industry connects the Amazon to central Africa during the reign of King Leopold II of Belgium, and to the commercial hubs of the industrialised world at the end of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Rubber belongs to the celebratory narratives of western modernization and was a central issue in the Amazon where it acquired tragic proportions. It has also changed various regions of the world as a result of acts of violence practiced against the indigenous communities inhabiting the tropical rainforests. In August 2010 the W. B. Yeats Chair of Irish Studies at the University of São Paulo, the Brazilian Association of Irish Studies and the Federal University of Amazonas organized the first international interdisciplinary symposium on Roger Casement in Manaus, taking as its focus his 1910 voyage to the Putumayo. Co-organised by Laura Izarra, Angus Mitchell and Luiz Bitton Telles da Rocha, the conference discussed key aspects of Transatlantic and Latin American relations involved in the complicated politics of the Amazon rubber boom, as well as Roger Casement’s political and literary legacy.

  • Dear Parents and Carers, We Will Miss Seeing Your Child and Working With
    Dear Parents and Carers, We will miss seeing your child and working with them. We have provided an overview of the main learning that we had planned to teach this week. We have provided a series of activities that your child can complete at home. There is also a list of websites emailed to all parents/carers that will support home learning e.g. Twinkl, Phonics Play. There will be exercise books available from the office for the children to complete their work in. We understand this is a challenging time so there is no expectation for all set work to be completed. Best wishes, we hope to see you soon. Weekly updates will follow. From The Year 2 Team. Maths Week 1 This week the learning focus is telling the time. In Year 2 the expectation is children can confidently tell the time to o’clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to. Some children will also be able to tell the time to the nearest 5 minutes, e.g. 25 minutes past 8. English / Geography Week 1 The children have been learning about where chocolate can grow and have been focusing on learning about the country Brazil. This week the children will be preparing a project on Brazil. The project can be presented in a variety of formats, e.g. posters, fact file and powerpoints. Within the project the children should be comparing different human and physical features between England and Brazil. Phonics https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/ Science Week 1 This week we are investigating how we can change the shape of different objects by either pushing, pulling, twisting and stretching.
