巴西亚马逊地区的森林破坏速度急剧加快，但随着正在指定的重要新保护区，也有重要的保护机会。卡洛斯佩雷斯在一篇及时的论文中指出，需要建立一个广泛的大型保护区网络，在业务上定义为面积超过100万公顷的保护区，以确保亚马逊物种和生态过程的长期持续。虽然这些保护区对某些人来说似乎过于庞大，但不同的证据表明，大型保护区对亚马逊生物多样性的未来至关重要。
The rate of forest destruction has accelerated sharply in Brazilian Amazonia, but there are also vital conservation opportunities with the ongoing designation of important new protected areas. In a timely paper, Carlos Peres argues that an extensive network of mega-reserves, operationally defined as those exceeding 1 million ha in area, is needed to ensure the long-term persistence of Amazonian species and ecological processes. Although such protected areas might seem excessively large to some, disparate lines of evidence suggest that mega-reserves are vital for the future of Amazonian biodiversity.
