A roundtable discussion titled "200 Years Since Academician G. I. Langsdorff’s Expedition to the Amazon" was held at the main building of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). Participants addressed not only the historical significance of the first studies of the region’s flora, fauna, and the lifestyles of its Indigenous peoples conducted by Russian scholars, but also contemporary prospects for research into biodiversity, climate change, and a sustainable bioeconomy.
