The project aims at preserving and recuperating the Pequi River Basin, which is located in a semi-arid region of the São Francisco River Basin, through construction of small dams to retain rainwater runoff caused by the deforestation in the area. There will be focus on the local community's environmental development, based on three specific target groups, which will serve as acting motivators for the proposal (youth, women and community groups), emphasizing co-existence with the semi-arid region. The goal is to create a motivational environmental learning space for the community, providing training for the rural workers which will serve as an instrument for changing the current reality in which they live.
