Case study: Caring for the forest, in the Amazon

“If we respect nature, we respect all forms of life” Chiquinho in the Amazon

Chiquinho is an expert in eco-friendly forest farming techniques that contribute to the health of the Amazon while helping families grow a plentiful harvest. With so much large-scale farming causing deforestation and even smaller-scale farming damaging the forest around it, it’s essential for people to continue to learn and use these techniques. 

Chiquinho works with local communities to encourage and teach them how to grow native fruits and vegetables without using chemicals, as well as raise animals, and harvest forest nuts and oils in line with the natural systems of the Amazon.

This way of farming produces a more varied and bountiful harvest than the conventional systems. It enables the soil, water, plants and animals of the Amazon to recover and flourish, while providing a good living for local communities for today and for future generations.

The communities he works with are often living under threat of expulsion from powerful groups who use violence and fraud to grab the land and its resources. The communities Chiquinho helps want to stay on the land which should be theirs by right, so that they can live with dignity in harmony with nature.

Chiquinho says,“The forest can be used by humans in a way that humans don’t dominate nature and nature doesn’t dominate humans. We work together. Neither one excludes the other.”
