Welcome to JBCS

The Portuguese writer Ferreira de Castro, in his book
"The Jungle", wrote of his impressions of Amazonia at the
start of the 20th century, at the height of the rubber boom.
The book ends with a great fire that destroys the rubber
plantations, which could be interpreted as the end of a cruel
period of exploitation, with the light coming from the fire
as the possibility of reinventing a new Brazil.
Since then, many things have changed, but the social
relationships continue, in many situations, as cruel as in the
past. The rubber plantations simply gave way to pastures.
No one is indifferent when the subject matter is
Amazonia. Everyone has proposals to make or opinions to
give about the development of the region. The most recent
of these proposals, "Amazonia: a Brazilian challenge for the
21st Century - The need for a scientific and technological
revolution", was elaborated by the Directorate of the
Brazilian Academy of Sciences (ABC). (
