For this big step, we partnered up with AIDER non-profit organization that aims to the conservation of rain forests, covering 127,000 ha. of threatened forests in the Peruvian Amazon jungle. They provide tools for indigenous communities to develop skills in managing lands, protecting their forest, land governance, new sustainable crop growing techniques, and training in other economic activities like craft making.
