Cuidando do Verde que tem Vida

Women from the fishing community of Sítio Jardim realized that tourism has negatively impacted the local ecosystem, their main source of income. The project will mobilize a group of 25 children and adolescents to promote environmental sustainability. The youth will be involved in a clean up and replanting effort along the river banks and trainined and provided with materials to engage and mobilize the community about sustainability issues, thus potentially influencing local environmental policy.
