Our non-profit organization is committed to driving environmental education and scientific research on biodiversity, ecology, and species behavior in Brazilian ecosystems. By connecting scientific findings with the public, we enable informed decision-making and foster a society that values and protects the environment.
We integrate research and education through tailored infrastructure, promoting academic studies and providing visitors with opportunities to learn about native species. Our research emphasizes educational outputs, such as producing eBooks, to deepen public understanding and appreciation of nature.
Additionally, we prioritize the conservation, management, and sustainable use of natural resources while supporting regional eco-tourism and cultural initiatives. Our ultimate vision is to establish five research centers across Brazil’s major biomes, ensuring a lasting impact on the country’s unique ecosystems. Join us in making a difference by participating in our ongoing projects in the Amazon and Atlantic Forest, where you can contribute to a sustainable future for Brazil’s treasured environments.
The Experience
