Bio-diversity

This project will develop environmental management capacity building activities for Krikati and Apinaj indigenous environmental agents. A plan for recovery of degraded areas and installation of demonstration modules in the Krikati area, as well as the dissemination of agroecologic management practices are all means to that end. Furthermore, the maintenance of a plant nursery in Carolina, state of Maranh o, implementation of permanent cultures and the preparation of a monitoring plan for the Apinaj area will be carried out. The formation of critical thinking in young adults is of paramount importance, for identification of negative impacts suffered by their territory and for the suggestion of feasible solutions to these problems to be locally implemented. These activities are to have a pilot character, with hopes of future replication in neighboring smallholder communities.
