Amazonian communities are at risk as unsustainable activities are invading their land... It's urgent to support their regenerative activities - as they support our global climate! With the correct support and partnership, they can be key to protect the world's most biodiverse region! Native stingless bees can be the perfect partner! They support pollination, food sovereignty and traditional communities' culture.
Challenge
Crimes against the environment are combined with crimes against the human rights of traditional communities in the Amazon. They are losing their land and the world is losing it's most biodiverse forest. The primary pollinators of this flora are the first ones to disappear - and with them, the traditional community culture is also affected. Their food sovereignty is lost with the decrease of pollination and of their access to nutritional and medicinal value products, such as pollen and propolis.
Long-Term Impact
We bring a space for people to be connected in the long-term and find the best solutions for the most endangered areas of the Amazon.
