When I grow up, I want to be a nature scientist
—someone who makes machines that help trees grow, or rivers stay clean.
Student Speaker, Fun-Loving Dreamer & Young Green Hero
Nivrith Sayarvar is a cheerful and imaginative 9-year-old from Grade 3D, CBSE. He enjoys
playing cricket with his father near home and loves painting, especially Squid Game characters.
Though a little shy, he likes expressing himself and believes in staying brave no matter what. He
has recently started learning cricket and dreams of becoming a footballer someday.
Nivrith is also learning to care deeply for the world around him. He believes that small acts—
like saving water, keeping nature clean, or simply being kind—can make a big difference. His
thoughts and actions reflect his strong belief in being a “Green Hero,” someone who protects
and respects the Earth.
Deeply supported by his parents and friends, Nivrith aspires to grow into a kind, gentle, and
responsible human being. With a fun-loving spirit, a strong heart, and a green vision, he
continues to explore, create, and inspire in his own quiet, confident way. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

- 11:32O nível do mar sobe há décadas. Como minimizar suas consequências? | Valdenira Santos | TEDxAmazôniaQuando pensamos em mudanças climáticas, nos vem à mente altas temperaturas, secas e enchentes extremas, aumento de furacões e incêndios. Poucos se dão conta de um movimento quase imperceptível que gera consequências drásticas: o aumento do nível do mar, que atinge mais de 2 bilhões de pessoas que vivem em zonas costeiras. A geóloga Valdenira Santos nos traz encaminhamentos urgentes para evitar catástrofes iminentes. Valdenira é uma geóloga apaixonada pela Amazônia Costeira que dedica sua vida a desvendar os mistérios das transformações dos ambientes costeiros no encontro da vasta foz do rio Amazonas com o mar. Com um doutorado em Geologia e Geofísica Marinha e uma carreira dedicada à pesquisa, ela tem contribuído largamente para a compreensão da dinâmica e dos desafios da região. Seus estudos pioneiros sobre a pororoca na foz do Amazonas são um marco na pesquisa científica brasileira. Valdenira é uma voz ativa na defesa do uso racional e sustentável dos ecossistemas costeiros e marinhos da Amazônia e, através do Observatório Popular do Mar-OMARA, ela mobiliza a sociedade civil para a conservação dos oceanos. Em 2022 foi reconhecida como Cientista Inspiração Sênior pela Cátedra UNESCO para a Sustentabilidade do Oceano e Liga das Mulheres pelo Oceano.
