The Angelim Project strengthens local communities as key agents in environmental regeneration

and climate change adaptation. The initiative combines traditional knowledge and innovation to protect the forest and mitigate the effects of global warming already observed in the region. With actions focused on ecological restoration, sustainable land management, and the reinforcement of community governance, the project promotes practices that preserve biodiversity and improve families’ quality of life. Environmental monitoring, awareness-building, and support for local entrepreneurship help shape a more resilient future—where conservation and development go hand in hand.
