Bio-diversity

This project aims to contribute to sustainable development of family farming in the Mid Northern Mato Grosso by means of projects bringing together generation of income and conservation of natural resources in settlements of the Ribeir o Grande Glebe, in Nova Mutum, Mato Grosso. The project seeks to meet this general objective through wild collection of copaiba. Specific objectives are as follows: learn to collect copaiba oil with minimum impacts on woods; adapt production and processing to market demands, as well as expand the market; generate income for settler families, particularly women; implement a set of initiatives for support of expansion and sustainability of copaiba oil production
