The Amazon rainforest is more than a case; it is key to understanding the biodiversity-climate interlinkages at a global scale. The region harbours an impressive number of species, provides ecosystem services that operate at the planetary scale, many of them directly related to climate (i.e., carbon storage, water cycling), across nine countries where around 30 million persons live with different cultures (Joly et al., 2018). The Amazon is responsible for delivering all sorts of ecosystem services, despite essential gaps in the scientific literature (Pires et al., 2018). Forest products, such as ‘a.ai’, are responsible for mobilizing more than US$ 1.5 billion year-1 (Scarano et al., 2020), but with an unexplored potential.
