The Amazon rainforest is the world's largest lung. Right now, vast tracts of virgin land are being cut down and burned to make way for agriculture, cattle ranching, mining, and industry. Join us in planting trees to create life instead of destroying it.
The indigenous peoples of the Amazon rainforest live in a very delicate situation, as they find themselves between two worlds: their ancestral culture, with its own values, versus progress, with Western values. Children in indigenous territories face great challenges to survive.
Do your part to help the Amazon Rainforest and the people who live there. Many actions need to be taken to change the current imbalance. Donate so that together we can build a better world.
The Água Viva community is one of the central communities of the Indigena praia ado carapanã territory, where the chief of the territory lives. This is the location and the community base from which our organization operates in the territory. We have achieved great things, such as the ecological park nursery, which since its inception in 2021 until 2026 has produced 23,100 seedlings of native trees, native and cultivated fruit trees, as well as medicinal trees, which have been planted in their final locations throughout our journey in the territory.
Ecological Park and an environmental protection area declared jointly with the community and the authorities and leaders of the territory, thus ensuring the protection of the ecosystems that inhabit it and all the fauna and flora of this large reserve. In the center of the park there is a large sumaúma tree, native to the Amazon rainforest and in danger of extinction. Ritualistic activities of the community are carried out there, in addition to being a large reservoir of aromatic medicinal plants of countless ancestry.
The Morada Nova community is made up of seven families who come from the Jordao community. They are farmers and artisans who keep their culture alive.

The Carapanã community is the first community in the territory that holds great importance in the history of the territory. It is located exactly in the middle of the territory and has a very diverse population, including artisans, farmers, musicians, fishermen, and a symbol of resistance and strength for the territory. In 2026, we will start a nursery in this community to produce native tree seedlings.
