Abstract

The Brazilian Amazon is one of Earth’s most biodiverse and ecologically important regions. However, research investments for biodiversity in the biome are disproportionately low compared with other regions of Brazil. In 2022, the Amazon received 13% of master's, doctoral and postdoctoral scholarships and hosted 11% of all researchers working in biodiversity postgraduate programs. Amazonian institutions received approximately 10% of all federal budget spent on grants and scholarships and about 23% of all resources destined to support long-term ecological sites. The cities of Manaus and Belém concentrate about 90% of all grants and scholarships available for the entire region. Despite per capita research investment in the Amazon being equal to or better than that available for the more economically developed regions of Brazil, the distribution of resources by area is highly unequal. Increasing research funding for the Amazon region requires differential input by federal agencies and more transnational collaborations and integration between Amazonian programs and international funds.

巴西对亚马逊生物多样性研究的公共资助

巴西亚马逊是地球上生物多样性最丰富、生态最重要的地区之一。然而，与巴西其他地区相比，对该生物群落生物多样性的研究投入却少得不成比例。2022 年，亚马逊地区获得了 13% 的硕士、博士和博士后奖学金，并接纳了 11% 的生物多样性研究生项目研究人员。亚马逊地区的机构获得了联邦预算中约10%的赠款和奖学金，以及约23%的用于支持长期生态遗址的资源。马瑙斯和贝伦市集中了整个地区约 90% 的赠款和奖学金。尽管亚马逊地区的人均科研投入与巴西经济较发达地区持平或更高，但各地区的资源分配却极不均衡。要增加亚马逊地区的科研经费，就需要联邦机构的不同投入，以及亚马逊项目与国际基金之间更多的跨国合作和整合。

期刊介绍： Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation (PECON) is a scientific journal devoted to improving theoretical and conceptual aspects of conservation science. It has the main purpose of communicating new research and advances to different actors of society, including researchers, conservationists, practitioners, and policymakers. Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation publishes original papers on biodiversity conservation and restoration, on the main drivers affecting native ecosystems, and on nature’s benefits to people and human wellbeing. This scope includes studies on biodiversity patterns, the effects of habitat loss, fragmentation, biological invasion and climate change on biodiversity, conservation genetics, spatial conservation planning, ecosystem management, ecosystem services, sustainability and resilience of socio-ecological systems, conservation policy, among others.
