Conservation and climate finance in practice
Indigenous Solidarity Revolving Fund – REM MT
We developed the modeling and structuring of the Indigenous Solidarity Revolving Fund as part of the Brazil nut chain management plan for the Apiaká, Caiabi, Munduruku and Zoró indigenous peoples in northwestern Mato Grosso. The project is essential to strengthen the Brazil nut value chain in the Amazon, supporting productive organizations in the communities and promoting their financial autonomy and the sustainability of their activities, with a special focus on Brazil nuts.
True value of sociobiodiversity products: a case study of sustainable pirarucu management
We conducted the first study of its kind applied to the fish supply chain and sociobiodiversity. The True Cost Accounting (TCA) approach was used to quantify the difference between actual prices paid and fair prices that should be charged, incorporating social and environmental values. The results provide evidence to the market and governments about the positive externalities of sustainable pirarucu management, highlighting its potential to influence policies and economic interventions that ensure adequate remuneration to local communities for their socioecological dynamics.
Middle Juruá Territory Program
Since 2017, we have coordinated the initiative focused on the Médio Juruá region, in Amazonas. The partnership with several national and international actors has made it possible to scale the impact of development initiatives in the social, environmental and economic spheres. Local actors and external partners were involved to, in a participatory and collaborative manner, develop and implement socio-environmental projects in the region, such as the sustainable management of pirarucu, the strengthening of local governance and other activities that contributed to the generation of income and the maintenance of the standing forest in the region.
