Ictio: an application for registering fisheries and an integrated database, producing a powerful tool to generate info across the Amazon Basin
Reconhecendo que o ecossistema amazônico está interconectado e requer uma visão local, regional e global, a Rede Ciência Cidadã para a Amazônia trabalha para gerar evidências científicas para informar as decisões de maneira custo-efetiva, promovendo a construção de um público informado em favor da conservação. As estratégias de monitoramento participativo com pescadores, que vivem os impactos em suas rotinas e conhecem os peixes, são fundamentais. Nesse sentido, esse vídeo apresenta o Ictio, um aplicativo para registro de pescas e uma a base integrada de dados, que é resultado desse esforço e uma ferramenta poderosa para gerar informação em escala de Bacia Amazônica. Os usuários podem visualizar e compartilhar seus dados, e rastrear espécies que capturam ao longo do tempo. Com a informação gerada em escala, busca-se aprofundar a compreensão dos padrões de migração de peixes prioritários. Pescadores do Madeira, assim como de outros pontos da Bacia Amazônica usam o aplicativo desde 2018.
Recognizing that the Amazon ecosystem is interconnected and requires a vision at local, regional and global scales, the Citizen Science Network for the Amazon works to generate scientific evidence to inform decision making in a cost-effective manner and promotes the development of an informed public in favor of conservation. A fundamental approach is participatory monitoring strategies with fishermen, who have experienced dam impacts on their daily lives and are knowledgeable about fish and fisheries. In line with this approach, this video presents Ictio, which is an application for registering fisheries and an integrated database, producing a powerful tool to generate information across the Amazon Basin. Users can view and share their data and track species they capture over time. With the information generated at scale, we seek to deepen the understanding of migration patterns of key fish species. Fishermen from Madeira and other parts of the Amazon Basin have used the app since 2018.

Documentary: efforts of World Fish Migration Foundation, consequences of dam construction in Europe
Veja o documentário sobre os esforços da World Fish Migration Foundation, diante das consequências da construção de barragens na Europa. Pao e equipe trabalham juntamente com gestores e atores locais em busca de alternativas para a recuperação dos rios europeus e demolição/remoção das represas para recuperar os impactos negativos após inúmeras construções de barragens, incluindo declínio e extinção de espécies, no século passado.
Watch the documentary on the efforts of the World Fish Migration Foundation discussing the consequences of dam construction in Europe. Pao and her team work together with local managers and actors in search of alternatives for the recovery of European rivers including the demolition/removal of dams to recover from the negative impacts of the construction of countless dams, including species declines and extinctions, in the last century.

Debate sobre conhecimento e políticas públicas: desafios e oportunidades para melhorar a tomada de decisão e a governança socioambiental na Amazônia
O terceiro artigo do e-book “Rios, Terras e Culturas: Aprendendo com o Sistema Socioecológico do Tocantins”, fala sobre como diferentes conhecimentos e políticas públicas voltados ao desenvolvimento de projetos de infraestrutura da Amazônia estão conectados a partir de diversas perspectivas. Os setores não governamentais indicam desconexão entre a tomada de decisões sobre infraestrutura e o conhecimento científico e indígena relacionado às áreas de impacto, e recomendam a expansão da pesquisa baseada em sistemas, envolvendo as comunidades locais como colaboradores de pesquisa, ampliando os esforços para monitorar os impactos e promovendo a colaboração e comunicação entre os setores em múltiplos estágios, desde a consulta inicial até o processo de monitoramento de impacto.

Knowledge and policy debate: challenges and opportunities for improving socio-environmental decision-making and governance in the Amazon
The third article of the e-book “Rivers, Lands and Cultures: Learning from the Socioecological System of Tocantins” discusses how different types of knowledge and public policies related to the development of infrastructure projects in the Amazon are connected. The non-governmental sectors suggest there is a disconnect between infrastructure decision-making and the scientific and Indigenous knowledge related to the areas of impact. All sector participants agreed on the desire for more collaboration, particularly in the early planning stages of projects. Recommendations emphasize expanding systems-based research, involving local communities as research collaborators, extending efforts to monitor impacts, and furthering collaboration and communication between sectors at multiple stages, from initial consultation to the impact-monitoring process.
