Our initiatives promote sustainable livelihoods that benefit both people and wildlife by integrating conservation with economic development. Through comprehensive monitoring, we gather essential data on animal populations, informing our conservation strategies. We monitor endangered species like jaguars and pumas while fostering ecotourism and community engagement to mitigate human-wildlife conflicts. By promoting harmony between local communities and wildlife, we aim to preserve our natural heritage for future generations
We are passionate about fostering gender equality in conservation. Through STEM education, leadership training, and advocacy, we empower women and girls to become leaders in science and environmental stewardship.
At the core of our mission is the urgent need to address the climate crisis. We are dedicated to reforestation efforts that restore vital ecosystems and enhance biodiversity. Our work includes promoting sustainable agriculture practices that support local farmers while preserving the environment. We advocate for renewable energy solutions to reduce carbon footprints and foster long-term sustainability. Additionally, we focus on developing climate adaptation strategies that empower rural communities in the Cerrado region, helping them to become more resilient in the face of environmental changes and the impacts of climate change
Camera traps are essential tools in wildlife monitoring, capturing images and videos of animals in their natural habitats without human interference. These devices provide researchers with valuable data on species presence, population densities, and behavior patterns. By strategically placing camera traps across various landscapes, researchers can monitor elusive and nocturnal species, study animal interactions, and identify key habitats and movement corridors. The imagery collected aids in understanding biodiversity and informing conservation strategies. As a non-invasive method, camera traps play a crucial role in long-term wildlife research and conservation efforts, offering insights that help protect and preserve ecosystems.
Transects are a fundamental method in wildlife monitoring, involving systematic surveys along fixed paths to collect data on species presence, abundance, and distribution. Researchers walk these predetermined lines, recording observations of animals, tracks, and other signs of wildlife activity. This technique allows for the collection of consistent and comparable data across different habitats and time periods. Transects are particularly useful for studying population trends, habitat use, and biodiversity. By providing a structured approach to data collection, transects play a crucial role in informing conservation strategies and enhancing our understanding of ecosystem health.
Footprints are invaluable indicators of wildlife presence, providing researchers with crucial insights into animal behavior and habitat use. Skilled trackers can decipher species identities from footprints, aiding species inventory and monitoring efforts. Additionally, footprints reveal details about movement patterns and social interactions, deepening our understanding of wildlife behavior. By mapping footprints, researchers can assess habitat quality and inform conservation efforts. As a non-invasive monitoring tool, footprints play a vital role in tracking population trends and evaluating conservation interventions, offering a unique perspective on biodiversity conservation.
