Protection

Socio-environmental solutions and technologies expanded and implemented in different territories

Why Environment and Climate Change?

Brazilian biomes are part of the most robust ecosystems in the world, with immeasurable potential to contribute to significant advances in the global climate agenda.

However, systemic environmental degradation impacts Brazilian sustainable development, the maintenance of the lives of *local and native populations, the proliferation of endemics and pandemics, and the advancement of the global climate change agenda.

Local and native populations living in Brazilian ecosystems are affected by the intensive, illegal, or unregulated exploitation of natural resources by extractive production systems.

Meio Ambiente e Mudanças Climáticas

Support for initiatives that work with the protection and dissemination of sustainable livelihoods and the rights of traditional and local populations.

Strengthen local efforts to build sustainable livelihoods, education, and environmental conservation, alongside the development of technologies to combat deforestation and the loss of native flora and fauna.
