<\/a>In April 2015, the second report was released: “State of the Amazon: Freshwater Connectivity and Ecosystem Health”<\/em>. Prominent researchers Marcia Macedo and Leandro Castello<\/strong><\/a> wrote the core scientific assessment which provides a comprehensive assessment of the current state of Amazon freshwater ecosystems and highlights the importance of hydrological connectivity and land-water interactions in maintaining the ecological functions that support water, food and energy security.<\/p>\n
