ARPA is considered the biggest conservation program of its kind, successfully leveraging cross-sector support through a financing model that has inspired similar projects around the world, and delivered tangible outcomes on the Amazon forest conservation. The fund guarantees donations over the long term with a clearly defined scope, offering more stability to the implementation of the program.
“Investments indeed translated into a reduction of deforestation and reduction in CO2 emissions resulting from deforestation,” said Britaldo Soares, an associate researcher at the Center for Technology and Innovation at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, and lead author of a paper that analyzes ARPA‘s impact on forest conservation.
Soares and researchers from WWF and FUNBIO found that deforestation between 2008 and 2020 was between 9% and 39% lower in Amazonian protected areas benefiting from ARPA support, and that this helped avoid 104 million metric tons of CO2 emissions.
For Júlio Barbosa, a resident of the Chico Mendes Extractive Reserve, ARPA has been important not just for creating conservation areas and infrastructure to support them, but also for strengthening local organizations, like cooperatives and deliberative councils.
ARPA focuses on traditional communities living within sustainable-use reserves, rather than Indigenous populations on Indigenous land, which are protected under different legislation. But the program also supports Indigenous populations who may live within the protected areas it targets and could even bring indirect benefits to other conservation areas, including Indigenous territories, as it helps maintain forest cover across the Amazon.

WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER
We all have too much work to do and too little time to do it. Managing your time is a challenge, but the secret is to work smarter not harder.
First, know when to work. When are you most awake? When are you sleepy? Some people work better at night, others first thing in the morning. You should do creative work or complicated work when you are at your best. When you’re not at your best, you should do jobs which don’t need a lot of thinking, like reading emails or calling a colleague.
Second, eat and sleep well to work well. Have you ever had a large lunch and felt so sleepy that you couldn’t think? It’s better to eat small amounts of food several times a day than eat two or three large meals. A large meal at night can have a bad effect on your sleep quality and your ability to think. It’s important to not only get enough sleep but also get good quality sleep.
Exercise is important too. In fact, exercising can make you feel more awake than having a cup of coffee. In addition, exercise makes you feel happier, and happy people work better!
Finally, do the right work at the right time. Certain experts say you should do your most difficult piece of work first. After you’ve finished that, you’ll feel ready to do almost any other job on your to-do list. But other experts say the opposite; they suggest starting with something simple. Doing that will make you feel successful and ready to do your next job.

Which sentence has the same meaning as the one below?
The city is noisy because many people drive carelessly.
Answer the question according to the text “My Manhattan”.
My Manhattan
Today, the island of Manhattan is home to more than 1.5 million people. We live in a place where 23% of the population drive a car noisily (and sometimes dangerously) on the streets. The city is very noisy. In a lot of the open spaces, the noise is loud enough to damage your ears. If people don’t try to change this situation, we will be in a lot of trouble!
There are a lot of traffic jams because the only way in and out of Manhattan is either over a bridge or through a tunnel. If people start using public transportation more, the air pollution will get better.
The biggest green space in Manhattan is Central Park. It’s 1.317 square miles. This gives people some land where they can exercise and get away from the big concrete buildings. Incredibly, more than 230 different kinds of birds live in Central Park. If you go there early on a summer morning, you’ll hear them singing beautifully in the trees. There are only a few other green spaces in Manhattan. However, there is a plan to plant a million new trees in Manhattan in the next ten years.
A few years back, New York City had some of the dirtiest air in the United States. That’s a sad fact. Things are getting a little better now, but if we want clean air in the future, we will need to switch to electric cars.
Manhattan is my home, and I want to help fight these problems. If we all fight together, it will be a beautiful place in the future.
