An endangered unique native forest
The Ipixuna Reserve holds valuable and unique biodiversity and is greatly endangered by deforestation.

also known as Kagwahiva, meaning “our people”
Protecting the environmental wealth of the territory
Set in the Madeira River basin, the Parintintin, through their territorial autonomy, seek to preserve their culture identity and to promote the conservation and sustainable management of their natural forests.
They aim to defend their traditional culture and improve their quality of life, which is what makes this project so unique. The Parintintin have decided to carry out the project by free decision, unanimously among the community.
