Medicinal herbs and plants will be reproduced in this project, which will also create a distribution center for seedlings destined for the local health nuclei. The threatened medicinal plant species will be conserved and replenished before they ( ... )
extinct in the region. Seedling transportation bags will be acquired and prepared, while the organic fertilizer will be prepared. An irrigation system will be installed. Seedlings and seeds will be collected in the wild. Disorderly and predatory collection of these plants has nearly depleted their stock. Actions to prevent their extinction are necessary in the short

The development of a simple methodology for evaluation of the effectiveness of biodiversity conservation in legally protected areas in the Cerrado is the objective of this project. The conceptual basis will be defined as a first step, defining the ( ... )
m and theoretical hypotheses. The environmental potential of the area under study will then be characterized. The threats to the environmental integrity of the area will be assessed, as well as the ecological risk. Management strategies will be proposed, in the end. The actual effectiveness of Conservation Units is invaluable information for the SGP and other environmentally driven

This project will take place in Western Goiás State, in the Upper Araguaia River Region, in the Municipalities of Doverlândia and Iporá. Solar energy will be harvested for dehydration of native tropical fruit and medicinal plants, thus reducing ( ... )
scale industrial processing costs. Value will be added to the finished product, and commercial feasibility of alternative energy use in small rural properties. Employment and alternative income will be generated, consequently alleviating the rural exodus. Sustainable use of natural Cerrado resources will be promoted through cultivation and extraction of fruit and medicinal plants. A solar
