Ahú
A project located between two of the most deforested biomes in Brazil
The Ahú Project protects a strategic territory
situated between two of the most deforestation-impacted biomes in Brazil, promoting forest conservation and strengthening local communities. The initiative combines environmental monitoring, fire prevention, and ecological restoration to ensure landscape integrity and biodiversity preservation. With a strong focus on social inclusion, the project fosters female entrepreneurship, expands access to education, and improves local infrastructure. By integrating innovation and traditional knowledge, Ahú paves a path toward sustainable development—where the forest stands and communities thrive.
