💼 Occupation

Stephan (Steve) Schwartzman is an American anthropologist and tropical forest policy analyst.[1] His areas of expertise include the Brazilian Amazon, indigenous peoples and traditional communities, REDD+, and financial incentives for environmental protection.[1] He has represented Brazil’s Institute for Socio-Economic Studies (INESC), served as coordinator of the U.S.-Brazil Tropical Forest Action Network, and consulted for the Anthropology Resource Center and other indigenous rights organizations.[2] He is currently[when?] serving as the senior director for tropical forest policy at Environmental Defense Fund.[1]

Early life and education

Schwartzman was born and raised in Washington, D.C.[3] He graduated with a B.A. in Anthropology from the University of Minnesota in 1975, and went on to graduate with an M.A. in Anthropology from the University of Chicago in 1979.[1]

He earned his PhD in Anthropology from the University of Chicago in 1988, where he wrote his thesis entitled "The Panará of the Xingu Indigenous Park: the Transformation of a Society." after living with the Panará people in the Brazilian Amazon for a year and a half.[3]

Schwartzman speaks English, Portuguese, Panará, and Spanish.[3]

Career

Schwartzman was an international representative at the Instituto de Estudos Socio-Economicos (1985-1987); a visiting researcher at the Instituto Socioambiental (1995-1996); a staff anthropologist at Environmental Defense Fund (1987-1997); a senior scientist at Environmental Defense Fund (1998-2000); the co-director of Environmental Defense Fund's International Program (2000-2007); and then the senior director of Environmental Defense Fund's Tropical Forest Policy program (2008-Present).[4][5]

In addition to his employment, Schwartzman has also taken on volunteer faculty and board positions. He was a steering council member of the Amazon Alliance (1995-1997); on the board of directors of Amanka'a Amazon Network (1990-1998); a founding member of Instituto Socioambiental (1995); a board member of Instituto de Pesquisa Ambiental na Amazônia (2004-Present); a member of the scientific advisory panel for the Amazon Region Protected Areas Program; a scholar in residence at American University's School of International Service (2005-2008); and a courtesy faculty member of the University of Florida's School of Forestry and Natural Resources (2006 - 2010).[1][6][7][8][9]

Advocacy

Schwartzman testified before American and Brazilian governmental bodies regarding indigenous rights and tropical forest conservation on several occasions:

  • Statement on behalf of the Environmental Defense Fund, concerning international financial institutions, August 11, 1998, before the Comissão de Fiscalização Financeira e Controle da Câmara dos Deputados, Brasilia, Brazil.[1]
  • Statement on behalf of the Environmental Defense Fund, National Wildlife Federation, and Sierra Club concerning authorization of U.S. contribution to eighth general capital increase of the Inter-American Development Bank and replenishment of the Fund for Special Operations, April 28, 1994, before the Subcommittee on International Development, Finance, Trade and Monetary Policy of the Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs of the US House of Representatives.[2]
  • Statement on behalf of the Environmental Defense Fund, National Wildlife Federation and Sierra Club, regarding the Indigenous Peoples and the Natural Environment of Brazil, May 10, 1994, before the Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere Affairs, Committee on Foreign Affairs of the US House of Representatives.[3]
  • Statement on behalf of the Environmental Defense Fund and the National Wildlife Federation, regarding Indigenous Peoples of Brazil: Human Rights and the Environment, July 14, 1993, before the Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere Affairs of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the US House of Representatives.[4]

At Environmental Defense Fund, Steve Schwartzman and partners supported the Panará community when they successfully reoccupied their ancestral territories in Brazil and created a conservation corridor totaling 7 million hectares.[10] This project completed a continuous corridor of high-value forestlands totaling more than 27 million hectares of intact forest in the heart of the Amazon, the size of the U.K.[11][12]

He also organized prominent environmental justice leader Chico Mendes's trips to the United States in 1987 and 1988, where he set up meetings and interviews with government leaders and translated for him to help spread Mendes’ story and ideas about equitable, effective tropical forest conservation. When Mendes was assassinated in 1988, Schwartzman championed efforts to pressure the Brazilian government into thoroughly investigating the crime.[13][14]
