Cooperation Network of Cantareira
MotivationThe environmental damage caused by the destruction and exploitation of the forests, the uncontrolled urban occupation of forest areas, drug trade, as well as social instability and poverty in the slums lead to higher degrees of vulnerability and underdevelopment among the inhabitants of the largest urban forests in the world (Cantareira and Tijuca) in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, adding to the general problems of the megalopolis, especially the poor. Facing the intensification of these problems as well as the lack of programs and policies that satisfy local needs, the Institute of Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs invests in the youth and the communities that inhabit the forests in order to implement actions that favor education, protection of the environment and democratization of information.
Campiagns
In doing so we involve the biggest number of people possible in the work and in the positive impact actions that are in harmony with the forest biome.
Youth of the Forest
Its program plans to include other regions of Brazil aiming for capacity building among the young inhabitants of the threatened forests in order to help them become facilitators of social and environmental networks
