Abstract
- The article reports that the Brazilian state of Pará has announced legal protection for 15 million hectares of Amazonian rainforest. The seven newly protected zones include two which together support 54 percent of all Amazonian animal and plant species. The government aims to increase satellite and ground vigilance of the newly protected zone, and to increase support for "conservation stewardship" by tribes who live in the forests.
