The climate crisis has its epicenter in the rampant exploitation of natural resources. Since 2019, Igarapé has been working to tackle the web of environmental crimes that have been destroying and degrading strategic biomes in Brazil and around the world. In the Amazon Basin, our goal is to transform ecosystems of environmental crime into ecosystems of green enterprises, compatible with the protection of the forest and the well-being of its peoples.
To protect and restore nature, and prevent the intensification of global warming, we promote nature-based solutions, new governance models and responsible financing capable of generating bioeconomies connected to local populations.
