Baru Project: sustainable use of a native resource
Projeto Baru: utilização sustentável de recurso nativo
Implementation of an alternative source of income in Sant?Ana da Caatinga is sought, a community living basically off of the scant flow of tourists and homemade products in the weekend fisher ranches. This alternative source of income consists in making baru, a native fruit, sweets and other foods promoting conservation of local native vegetation through its sustainable use.
