About 85% of rural producers in Pará never attended school or did not complete basic education (Barreto et al., 2024).
Forty-two percent of official roads in the North region were considered lousy or bad in 2022, almost double that of the South and Southeast regions, with 18.7% and 22%, respectively (Barreto et al., 2024).
3 million kilometers of unofficial roads and branches, many in precarious condition, existed in the Amazon in 2020 (Barreto et al., 2024).
37 million hectares of land could be released for other uses, such as forest restoration, with a more productive livestock sector in the Amazon (Barreto et al., 2024).
12 million hectares is the minimum that Brazil's National Native Vegetation Recovery Policy aims to recover by 2030 (Barreto et al., 2024).
Mortality is 8 times lower in countries with early warnings, allowing early decisions in the event of disasters (Cortés, 2024).
26% of the forested Amazon has already been affected by the combination of deforestation and severe land degradation (Lesenfants et al., 2024).
The 8 Amazonian countries are home to more than 40 million residents in the region, underscoring the importance of developing a bioeconomy that benefits this significant population (Lesenfants et al., 2024).
0.17% of the global bioeconomy market, estimated at USD 7.7 billion by 2030, would be received by the Amazonian countries (Lesenfants et al., 2024).
63% of the total area of the Amazon is located in Brazil, being the country with the largest portion of this biome (Lesenfants et al., 2024).
