“Amazon at Risk offers a rigorous structural analysis that illuminates the complex tensions between extractive development and conservation in the Amazon basin. This volume is an invaluable analytical tool for researchers, policymakers, and academics engaged in environmental governance and Latin American studies.”Dr. Kar M. Hernández P., Andrés Bello Catholic University (UCAB), Venezuela."Amazon at Risk offers a compelling analysis of the Amazon as a socio-environmental space shaped by competing perspectives on development. Its historical and comparative perspective provides valuable analytical tools for understanding the tensions among resource extraction, conservation, and social justice across the region."Dr. Valdemar Wesz Junior, Federal University of Latin American Integration (UNILA), Brazil."Through a meticulous approach to the Amazon crisis, Amazon at Risk highlights the urgency of the Amazon's tipping point, making it clear that its protection is not just a regional challenge, but a key global issue for the world's climate stability. An invaluable resource. I highly recommend reading it."Professor Alberto José Hurtado Briceño, Center for Global Thought (CEPEG), Cooperative University of Colombia (UCC), Colombia.“Amazon at Risk is a compelling study of the economic and environmental contradictions facing the Amazon, from the perspective of the countries and communities that comprise it. It is an urgent appeal from the standpoint of environmental justice for the balanced preservation of the world's largest rainforest, combating dominant extractive and commercial practices.”Prof. Alejandro Casas, University of the Republic (UdelaR), Uruguay.“A fundamental book on the impact of extractivism is Amazon at Risk, which rigorously exposes the increase in socio-environmental tensions and territorial disputes.I recommend reading it to understand the gap between state accumulation strategies and ecological and socio-cultural sustainability.Dr. Alexis Romero Salazar, President of the Venezuelan Association of Sociology (AVS), Venezuela.“For decades, Latin America has suffered the clash between two constantly opposing logics: the logic of capitalist accumulation versus the logic of nature. Amazon at Risk is a valuable research project that contributes to the study of this problem.”Dr. Alejandro Schneider, University of Buenos Aires (UBA), Argentina.
