Launched in 2000 by Brazilian and British scientists, Esecaflor — short for “Forest Drought Study Project” in Portuguese— set out to simulate a future in which the changing climate could deplete the Amazon of rainfall. It is the longest-running project of its kind in the world, and has become a source for dozens of academic articles in fields ranging from meteorology to ecology and physiology.Amazon Rainforest · BrazilSee the Story

When he was up to speak, the bishop didn’t preach though he was in his city of Chiclayo as host of a regional gathering.
