Dear colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the *International
Scientific Conference "Amazon in Perspective: Integrated Science for a
Sustainable Future" *from November 17-20, 2008, in Manaus, Amazon, Brazil.

The conference will call together current major research programs in the
Amazon, including *LBA* <http://lba.inpa.gov.br/> (Large Scale
Biosphere-Atmosphere Project in the Amazon),
*GEOMA*<http://www.geoma.lncc.br/> (Amazonian
Environmental Modeling Network) and*PPBio* <http://ppbio.inpa.gov.br/>
(Biodiversity
Research Program). The focus of the conference will be to foment an active
debate emphasizing synergy and cooperation and integration of research that
will result in an interdisciplinary analysis of current and future scenarios
of environmental changes in the Amazon.

In disseminating the latest results on biodiversity, climate and
land-use-cover research in the Amazon, as well as discussing and analyzing
various scenarios of environment change caused by deforestation and climate
change, we hope to identify new strategies and priorities, both for research
planning for the region and for actions supporting sustainable development.

A joint scientific committee is currently making an integrated effort to
develop a comprehensive scientific program for the conference, which
includes plenary, parallel sessions, thematic symposiums, round-tables,
associated meetings and workshops. *Those whom registered and submitted
abstracts prior to April 20, 2008, do not need to do them again. *However,
should you wish to make any revisions, please see *abstract
submissions*<http://www.lbaconferencia.org/lbaconf_2008/eng/ab_intro.htm>
.

To stimulate interactions and to foster new connections among participants,
the conference will provide opportunities for informal exchanges of
experiences, as well as offer a *special dinner celebration*.

Everyone is welcome to attend and contribute to the Conference, as well as
to propose and organize other activities during the meeting. Special
attention will be given to activities aiming at bridging disciplinary
frontiers and promoting integrated analysis and synthesis of current
knowledge.

We ask you to reserve this date in your agenda, as this event in Manaus will
be an excellent opportunity to present and exchange results of research in
the Amazon. `

*LBA, GEOMA & PPBio*
