• Ecological research and the compilation and curation of scientific data
are fundamental activities for understanding the changes in the biodiversity of the Amazon;
• Ecological research is still concentrated in more accessible locations and closer to research institutions;
• The Amazon is the region of the country that receives the least investment in biodiversity research. This asymmetry also occurs within the region itself, where large urban centers receive much more investment; and
• It is necessary to increase resources, expand and improve policies, and strengthen cooperation for ecological research in the region.
