What Maps Tell Us: A Conversation with Dr. Clinton N. Jenkins
In this interview, we dive deep into the science and stories behind protecting one of the planet’s most complex and vital systems, the Amazon Basin. Dr. Clinton N. Jenkins reveals how biodiversity maps connect distant ecosystems and communities, serving as living indicators of the Amazon’s health.We explore the importance of the Andes–Amazon–Atlantic “water pathway,” a continental-scale system that sustains biodiversity, cultures, and climate stability across South America. From forests to floodplains, we unpack how human pressures, like oil palm expansion, are transforming rivers, and how innovative tools like biodiversity mapping and Area of Habitat modeling are changing the way conservation decisions get made.What you’ll learn:-How unknown species can be identified using maps-Things you never knew about the Amazon River-Saving Nature’s origin storyJoin us for a powerful look at how technology, local action, and science-based policy can redefine the future of freshwater conservation in the Amazon and beyond.#Amazon #Conservation #Biodiversity #Freshwater #Mapping #ScienceForNature
