How it works

Supporting this project, funding it, means promoting the conservation of this portion of the Amazon forest, a region marked by high rates of deforestation, and of its ecosystems. Thanks to this initiative, the area is constantly monitored through the use of modern and valued technological equipment, but at the same time, various species of fauna and flora are protected, such as the Chiropotes satanas, currently at risk of extinction.
