The Future of the Traditional Ribeirinho Population in Two Conservation Units of Brazil's Amazon Basin

Faculty Sponsor: Caroline Karp

Blair examined the potential of future stressors to impact the forest management plans of a traditional Amazonian population living in two conservation units on a large tributary of the Amazon River.

Blair recently translated Oberom’s book Traveling in the Light (about a young backpacker’s spiritual quest) and is currently doing research for a book about a local spiritual movement in Brazil.
