                         floodplains has been increasing and consequently land occupation, 
                         combined with fishing and wood over-exploitation. In addition, 
                         recent studies suggest that the Amazon hydrological cycle has been 
                         intensified since the seventies. Therefore, it is clear that an 
                         increase frequency of hydrological extreme, added to an increase 
                         explotation of natural resources, are adding an increased pressure 
                         over the Amazon floodplains. Brazilian governmental plans, in 
                         addition, includes the construction of hydroplants, paving new 
                         roads, developing of new waterways for navigation in Amazon 
                         tributaries, which might further accelerated those changes in the 
                         next decades. Governmental plans do not take into account the 
                         potential impacts of global climate changes in all those economic 
                         activities. This presentation analysed preliminary results of 
                         climate change in some Amazon tributaries produced at INPE. Model 
                         outputs suggest major impacts that could certainly jeopardize 
                         existent governmental plans.",
