[[Antonio Donato Nobre|'''Antonio Donato Nobre''']] is a Brazilian scientist and an activist for a cause he embraced 36 years ago when he began researching the Amazon rainforest. His first trip to the region was in 1979, as a student of agronomy. Over the ensuing three years he went to the forest seven times by hitchhiking on government airplanes. When he decided to stay, Nobre became a researcher at Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia (National Institute of Amazonia Research, INPA). He then lived in Manaus, Amazonas, in the middle of the rainforest, for 14 years.  

* Author of the 2014 report O Futuro Climático da Amazônia (The Climate Future of the Amazon Rainforest), he currently lives in the interior of São Paulo and is a senior researcher at the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (National Institute for Space Research (INPE).  
* In order to attract more people to the urgent cause of protecting what is left of the forest, a ‘war effort’, as he puts it, Nobre believes that we have to make people’s eyes shine, translating scientific discoveries through accessible language that can awaken adults’ inner children.  
* Nobre fears the forest is nearing what he describes as a “tipping point,” after which it will no longer be able to regenerate on its own, thus embarking on the path to desertification. “This is not about protecting the forest simply to please environmentalists.  
* The living forest is essential for the survival of human civilization,” he says. In order to reverse the current state of destruction, Nobre proposes the development of a forest economy – capable, in his opinion, of generating nearly 20 times as much revenue as extensive cattle ranching.  
* As an example, he cites the project Amazônia 4.0, which defends the use of technology for the sustainable exploration of biodiversity. 

'''Co-Convener''':

* Jim Garrison, President, Ubiquity University
