Description:	These challenges are set alongside new opportunities provided by new and better-performing markets; new technology; some marked shifts in the political climate at the local, state, and international levels; and the emergence of a new vision of development that aims to reconcile economic growth, poverty alleviation, and natural resource conservation in the Amazon. The final section highlights the contributions of asb?s research and outreach activities in the western Brazilian Amazon and sets an agenda for future asb-Brazil activities.
