“If there’s no effect, we can safely assume that you can keep harvesting timber at the current intensities and not compromise Brazil nut production,” Guariguata says. “If there is a negative effect, local producers can then decide whether they keep harvesting the timber in their forest or not. And if there’s a positive effect then we have a win-win situation.”
