Liberal Amazon: The most preserved mangroves in the world

There is one ecosystem in the Amazon where the pressure of deforestation cannot prevail: mangroves, which play a strong role in the socio-economic sustainability of riverside communities, as well as in the extraction of subsistence resources from the consumption of fish and crabs. A study carried out by the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), the Federal Rural University of the Amazon (Ufra) and the Vale Institute of Technology (ITV) found that less than 1% of the region's mangroves have been impacted by human interventions such as urban expansion and road construction.
