This project aims to produce and commercialize sustainable managed handcrafts from the Buriti palm (Mauritia vinifera), using its stem, leaves and bark. This will contribute to income generation in the community and will help to avoid deforestation in the municipality of Monte Alegre. Capacity building workshops will be offered in gender relations and Buriti management, which will provide the basis for good project execution and will result in development for the communities involved.
