“Amazônia Eterna explained the rain forest in a way I had never
understood it before.” - Luiz Carlos Merten, GOOD PLANET, ESTADAO
ETERNAL AMAZON
Directed by Belisario Franca / Brazil / 2012 / 88min / Documentary
Feature
At a time when the world is focused on the impact of humans on the
environment, Eternal Amazon focuses in the successful sustainable
projects in the Amazon's five million square kilometers - which are
home to countless plant and animal species, and 20% of the world's
freshwater reserves. Executives, politicians and environmentalists
working together with indigenous tribes and riverbank communities are
currently constructing a model for using nature that can extract its
resources while generating work and income, with minimal environmental
impact. Eternal Amazon is a beautiful and insightful documentary that
presents a critical analysis of how the world’s largest tropical
rainforest is understood and utilized.
ETERNAL AMAZON features experts such as:
- Sergio Besserman Vianna, Economist and President of the Board for
Sustainable Development of Rio de Janeiro and Professor at PUC-RJ
- Carlos Eduardo Young, Professor at the Institute of Economics, UFRJ
- Paulo Moutinho, Ecologist and Executive Director at the Amazon
Environmental Research Institute (IPAM)
- Bertha Becker, Geographer and Coordinator of several research and
