Project Yawanawa: Amazonian Agroforestry & Aquaculture
Take part in a journey that merges tradition, sustainability, and environmental preservation: the Yawanawa Agroforestry and Aquaculture Project in Mutum, Brazil. This collaboration between the Ecological Renewal Alliance (ERA) and the Yawanawa tribe focuses on regenerative ecological design, including aquaculture, agroforestry, and the preservation of indigenous tending practices.
The Yawanawa, known as the "People of the Wild Boar," safeguard 500,000 acres of the Amazon, playing a pivotal role in rainforest preservation. Renowned for their spiritual traditions, healing abilities, and culture, they've invited us to help preserve their way of life sustainably by employing a combination of regenerative and traditional ecological methods.
Supporting the Yawanawa means safeguarding the Amazon. Empowering them with self-sustaining food sources ensures a healthier tribe and a thriving forest.
