MAIN THEME: Environment

SUMMARY

Technology is an instrument that aims to bring society closer and raise awareness about the importance of forests from the point of view of preservation and development of the ecosystem. Reforestation promotes the return of the region's biodiversity.

GOALS

Promoting the reforestation of degraded areas and make society aware of the importance of the forest.

DESCRIPTION

Amazon deforestation is a worldwide concern. The reduction of their plant mass impacts the disappearance of species of fauna and flora and, consequently, the life of this ecosystem.

The Miyawaki System performs environmental analysis of soil, water, climate, geography, and local neighborhood.

During the planting period, the ASFLORA Institute, responsible for the System, in partnership with other institutions, holds events in schools, public and private agencies, in which civil society and academia actively participate in the reconstruction of this habitat. As a result, the system also becomes an environmental education and research initiative open to all.

RESULTS ACHIEVED

Between 2001 and 2019, more than 40 social technologies were implemented, totaling about 200,000 seedlings planted in local ecosystem recovery projects.
