Cerrado Forest Backpack: a tool for recreating the Cerrado
Mochila Florestal Pró-Cerrado: uma nova ferramenta para recriar o Cerrado
This project seeks to adapt the "Agroforestry Educator" methodology and didactic materials for social-cultural and environmental use of the Cerrado by its traditional populations, translating this biome's reality and the positive interaction between the culture of these people and their sustainable lifestyles into a tool for recovery of degraded areas in the Cerrado. Organizations and communities will receive instruments for recovery and reconstruction of degraded areas in the Cerrado through a participative, dynamic and interactive methodology and the confection of didactic materials based on principles and concepts of ecology and rescuing of traditional knowledge of the Cerrado populations.
