But genuine intercultural health care is elusive. In Ecuador, a country with great cultural and g…
Mining drives extensive deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon
Mining poses significant and potentially underestimated risks to tropical forests worldwide. In Brazil’s Amazon, mining drives deforestation far beyond operational lease boundaries, yet the full extent of these impacts is unknown and thus neglected in environmental licensing. Here we quantify mining-induced deforestation and investigate the aspects of mining operations, which most likely contribute. We find mining significantly increased Amazon f…
