"On average, to restore a thousand hectares ... you generate approximately 400 jobs" in things such as growing and planting seeds and seedlings and monitoring regrowth, said Ludmila Pugliesi, a restoration manager at Conservation International Brazil.
To reach "net zero" deforestation, Brazil would have to scale up its efforts to restore forests across the country while also fighting deforestation, said Marcio Astrini, executive secretary of the Climate Observatory, a Brazilian non-profit.
That said, though some of the novelty has worn off, it's still worth standing in awe of what companies like Amazon and Google have accomplished in such an affordable product. This is not a speaker that will envelop you in music, but it's useful for casual listening nonetheless -- and at least marginally better than the current Nest Mini and third-gen Echo Dot.
And on the other end of the price spectrum, Amazon's new $100 full-size Echo represents a serious upgrade in sound quality and Free Novels smart home control. Now, Amazon's new Echo Dot faces a problem. It's a solid smart speaker and an easy entry point into the market, but it's competing with 2018's still-excellent Dot, which has seen prices in recent weeks as low as $19.

RIO DE JANEIRO, June 21 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Brazil's former president and front-runner in October elections, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, would seek "net zero deforestation" in the country if elected, a political plan published Tuesday said.
The answer isn't so straightforward. But pressed on both sides by the superior smarts and sound of the $100 Echo and the only slightly inferior Echo Dot at huge discounts? Is a new Echo Dot worth $50? In a vacuum, definitely.
"Increased activity and abundance of lianas can have profound impacts on the structure and function of tropical rainforests, which in turn affects the animals that depend on them," Professor Laurance says.
The lack of detail about "net zero" deforestation and jobs in the new political plan is not by accident, said Astrini, who met with Lula's representatives four times as it was developed, twice with Lula himself present.
Ditto setting up surround sound for your home theater. Two Echo Dots can still be paired for stereo sound, but I can't imagine recommending this over buying a better quality $100 speaker, like the Nest Audio or 2020 Echo.
The Echo Show 5 is now 40 per cent off on Amazon. With a neat and compact 5.5-inch touch screen display, it helps control your smart home devices, plays TV programmes and films via Prime Video, Netflix and more, and connects with friends and family.
The new details about Amazon's China strategy demonstrate the challenges Western companies face in accessing the world's most populous market - and in coping with an authoritarian regime that has been tightening control over public discourse.

Political observers say Lula, who ruled from 2003-2010, has a realistic change at becoming Brazil's president again - and is using environmental policies as a way to differentiate himself from the incumbent president.
Amazon entered China in 2004 through a $75 million deal to acquire Joyo.com, an online book-and-media seller.
Eventually, Amazon wanted to introduce e-books and its popular Kindle reading devices to the Chinese market.
But Lula's commitment signals an abrupt shift from the policies of Bolsonaro, who has been widely criticized for dismantling Brazil's environmental policies and weakening the main government bodies that fought deforestation.
exchanged hard plastic shells for soft cloth exteriors, and a little visual evolution is welcome. Amazon even smartly kept the Dot's footprint the same as previous generations, so despite the taller frame, it won't take up more shelf space.
If you listen to trap music or hip-hop, it simply won't sound very full on the new Echo Dot -- and Lil Wayne is much less enjoyable when his higher pitched rasp isn't counterbalanced by booming bass. The bass, which has never been strong in small speakers like Echo Dots and Nest Minis, remains particularly weak here.
The company planned to tout the portal to Chinese authorities as Amazon's only store named after a country, the document said. Amazon dedicated several employees to the effort, which involved CIBTC, the government book-trading company, which the document described as "the executing body from GAPP."
Amazon declined to make Carney available for an interview. According to the briefing document, the Cyberspace Administration of China, Book Review or CAC, asked Amazon in 2018 to take down a "link to China's new blockbuster film Amazing China because of especially harsh user reviews." The CAC is responsible for online security and content regulation.
