摘要：
Environmental issues are increasingly important both in politics and in academia. This classroom project deals with tropical deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon and addresses both environmental consequences and economic, social, and political causes. Designed for the lower undergraduate level, the project covers a period of three weeks and includes lectures, individual research by students on the actors involved in Amazonian deforestation, and a simulation in which students role-play a Brazilian "Regional Planning Commission," which formulates recommendations for the development of southeastern Amazonia.
