A colheita da floresta: Uma estratégia de desenvolvimento social e economicamente viável ao desmatamento? by Patricia Andrade de Oliveira

“…It is based on the sustainable extraction of non-timber-forest products (NTFPs) so as not to interfere with the balance of both the ecosystems and the food-chain. The principle of the Rainforest Harvest is, therefore, that if it can be shown that forests are more valuable while they are standing, they will have more chance to be preserved.This article examines the partnership deal between the British cosmetics company The Body Shop and the Kaiapó communities Pycany and A’Ukre in the the brasilian state of Pará. …”
