Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Soares Filho is widely known internationally for his applied research on land use change and tropical forest conservation in Brazil and the Brazilian Amazon in particular. He developed sophisticated tools and methods for the spatial assessment and evaluation of agricultural and environmental policies with respect to climate change and other environmental as well as socio-economic impacts. His work has significantly contributed to providing the scientific basis for Brazil’s success in reducing tropical forest loss in the Amazon region over the past decade. During his stay in Germany, Professor Soares Filho will work on the cross-disciplinary integration of spatial analysis tools for conservation policy analysis.
