The Amazon is the forest that challenges society while providing so many possibilities for the future. A home to thousands of fauna and flora species, many yet to be discovered, and an unparalleled ecosystem complexity. This forest is also the main responsible for maintaining the climate on the planet.
This global asset has been suffering increasing and constant threats in Brazil, such as fires, deforestation, and illegal mining. The debate on how science can drive a new sustainable and inclusive development model in the forest gains light in this scenario. We seek to emphasize the importance of combining traditional knowledge with innovations in technology and research as a way of boosting a green and regenerative economy with a low environmental impact and solutions that recover what has already been degraded.
What do we want Amazon to be like in the future? Which economic and social development model is the most sustainable for keeping the forest standing and providing the quality of life for all people living in that region?
These questions will be part of the narrative in the new temporary exhibit, produced by the Institute for Development and Management – IDG, which manages the Museum of Tomorrow. Through interactive and technological experiences, “Amazonian Times” seeks to bring you closer to the experiences of yesterday, today and tomorrow in the forest, connecting to the stories of the Amazonians: from the indigenous and riverside population to the urban population.
Enjoy the exhibit!
