Youth of the Forest
 Since 2007 IDEAS as been focusing on the organizational development of RECANTA Cooperation Network of Cantareira (Rede de Cooperação da Cantareira), the biggest urban forest in the world, located in São Paulo, Latin American megalopolis of 19 million
inhabitants. Its program (Jovens da Floresta) 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, thus diminishing marginalization while contributing to forest protection.
With the program Youth of the Forest we seek to create a new socio-environmental actor in the
metropolitan forests as well as in Amazonia and Mantiqueira through capacity building founded on these three components:
- Holistic Health (demographic control, gender emancipation and sexuality, nutrition, and non
violent communication by peace culture)
- Environment (environmental education, reforestation, areas of conservation, and
sustainable forest management)
- New technologies (social networks,monitoring of forest areas, as well as local and
global networking) Cantareira/SP
