A incrível capacidade da floresta renascer | Joice Ferreira | TEDxAmazônia
A cientista amazônida Joice Ferreira lembra que o arco do desmatamento é famoso, mas está na hora de conhecer o arco da regeneração e a incrível capacidade da floresta se recuperar. Somente hoje, 100 mil km2 de mata está renascendo, mais do que o território de Portugal. E seus estudos trazem esperança: as florestas secundárias, conhecidas localmente como capoeiras, além de garantirem alimento e sustento para quem vive na floresta, elas têm um papel crucial no equilíbrio climático porque absorvem de cinco a onze vezes mais carbono da atmosfera do que as florestas primárias.
Pesquisadora da Embrapa em Belém, cofundadora da Rede Amazônia Sustentável (RAS), curadora do Museu das Amazônias e professora de pós-graduação na Universidade Federal do Pará, Joice tem trabalhado na Amazônia Oriental nos últimos 25 anos. Em seu grupo de pesquisa, vem produzindo evidências científicas sobre restauração de ecossistemas, biodiversidade e resiliência socioecológica de territórios amazônicos. Em 2019, foi premiada pela Sociedade Ecológica Britânica por sua atuação nos problemas ecológicos junto à sociedade e às comunidades locais amazônicas. Joice juntou-se a mais de 200 cientistas no Painel de Ciências para a Amazônia (SPA, em inglês) para a produção do maior relatório já feito sobre o estado e as perspectivas de futuro para a Amazônia. A pesquisadora faz parte do comitê estratégico da Aliança pela Restauração da Amazônia e participa de vários coletivos e movimentos pela proteção e restauração do bioma.

- 11:37Lessons for a new generation in a new world | Sanchay Gupta | TEDxGIIS DubaiMy exploration of the modern 'Pandemic of Validation Craving' serves to reflect our generation's relentless obsession with trends, brands and social media approval and how it has trapped us in a cycle of comparison and 'Doomshopping.' It critiques how society prioritizes looks and links respect to possessions, showing how even phones can shape our social interactions. Finally, it highlights practical spending and self-awareness strategies like identifying the trigger for your Impulse spending and FOMO and switching back to cash to make most purchases, and suggests embracing individuality to build true self-worth. I am an inquisitive 15-year-old coming from GEN-Z, interested in everything about science, satellites and the human mind. My speech focuses on my observations about people and ongoing trends, specifically on the rise of over-obsession/craze, show-off culture and how it affects the different stakeholders in society. Moreover, I will also discuss about how setbacks are a strategic advantage towards living a more meaningful life.
