| This project aims to recover legal reserve areas (ARL) or areas of permanent preservation (APP), in regions of family agriculture at the Brazilian Oriental Amazon, in the hopes of reducing impacts resulted from agricultural and forest practices. The project aims to train at least 150 family farmers in management of natural resources in areas which are close to bodies of water, and also to recover and monitor these areas' environment. The project will be developed in micro-basins of the Bragança, ... Status: Completed Start date: Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
