The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Harvard University Brazil Studies Program at the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies present STRATEGIES TO COMBAT DEFORESTATION IN THE AMAZON What have 20 years of experience taught us?

During the 1980s and 1990s he founded and presided over SOS Mata Atlantica and Instituto Socio-Ambiental, two of the most respected environmental NGOs in the country. From 2003 to 2006 he was Secretary for Biodiversity and Forestry in the newly inaugurated Lula's government, and then Vice-Minister and interim-president of Instituto Chico Mendes, working alongside Min. Marina Silva. In the Brazilian Amazon, global supply chains, indigenous peoples, hydroelectric power plants, soy and sugarcane farms, cattle-ranching, landless peasants, land grabbing, political clientelism, legal and illegal logging, and mining for iron, bauxite and gold come together to help determine the annual rate of deforestation. Mr. Capobianco will bring the latest figures and discuss what the Brazilian government has learned over the past 20 years, and what it is likely to do next.
