Xavante Indian of Mato Grosso
Índios Xavante, Mato Grosso - complementação do projeto WEDEZE
The recovery of food security in Indigenous Reservations is sought by this project. This will be accomplished by rescuing traditional knowledge about natural resources, by the production of a plant nursery, and fruit, nut and native potato reforestation in the Tanguro village. A bilingual brochure will be developed, containing biologic, practical and traditional knowledge about how to manage and increase the area of the re-forested regions. The undernourishment in the Xavante community will be thus addressed, creating a model for other indigenous and rural areas in the Cerrado.
