IPÊ will be 30 years old in 2022. More than 20 of them dedicated to the conservation of biodiversity in the amazon territory. All projects carried out in the region are part of the solutions for amazon which brings together initiatives aimed at strengthening communities and protected areas in the biome. Work on the biome began on the lower Negro river and later expanded into a major initiative called Integrative Solutions for Amazon Conservation.

Currently, in the lower Negro river, is realized the Navegando Educação Empreendedora na Amazônia. The team travels through the communities carrying out surveys on businesses and their entrepreneurs to devise strategies that can give impetus to these works. Everything happens with the support of the Maria I school boat, which navigates the waters of the rivers to reach the residents of the Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (RDS) Puranga-Conquista. The project has the support of the LIRA/IPÊ project – Legado Integrado da Região Amazônica and a partnership with Linkedin, the largest professional social network in the world.

          In the 2010s, IPÊ supported the formalization and strengthening of local organizations, with documentation for access to public policies aimed at family farmers and artisans, contributing to the business infrastructure.

Craftsman Célio Arago (pictured left), for example, is among those benefited by IPÊ. Workshops, the courses and exchanges contributed to the further development of his skills as an artisan, a craft he learned from his father. From the Nova Esperança community, Célio’s pieces won the world and were nominated for awards. After the project, Célio today shares what he learned with the young people.

“The learning I had with IPÊ opened many doors for me. Now I teach young people in my community so that they have the same chance as me”.

Within the Soluções Integradas, IPÊ develops the following actions:

MOSUC – Motivação e Sucesso na Gestão de Unidades de Conservação held since 2012, in partnership with ICMBio and support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. A key action front is the national restructuring of the ICMBio Volunteering Program, which was supported by IPÊ in various ways, from visual communication to the digital restructuring of the volunteer register.

Since 2012, IPÊ has supported the strengthening of the National System of Conversation Units, encouraging the sharing of good management practices, fostering arrangements that expand human capital to support management, and building platforms that disseminate information and knowledge about the UCs.

MPB – Monitoramento participativo da biodiversidade, which, since 2013, has been monitoring biodiversity in 18 Conservation Units (12 million hectares) in the Amazônia with the contribution of local communities. This process is essential to understand and moderate the extent of changes that may lead to the loss of local biodiversity, support the proper management of natural resources, and promote the maintenance of the way of life of local communities. The MPB project is part of the initiative to implement the Programa de Monitoramento da Biodiversidade – Monitora of ICMBio (Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation), USAID, Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and ARPA Program are MPB partners.

LIRA – Integrated legacy of the Amazon region, as of 2019, the actions were expanded with the project that focuses on increasing the effectiveness in the management of 86 protected areas (Conversation Units of Indigenous Lands), with integrated and networked work in the Amazônia. The project covers 34% of the protected areas in the Amazônia, considering 20 Federal UCs, 23 State UCs and 43 Indigenous Lands, in the regions of High Negro River, Low Negro River, North of Pará, Xingú, Madeira-Purus and Rondônia-Acre. LIRA is an initiative conceived by IPÊ – Instituto de Pesquisas Ecológicas, the Amazônia Fund and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the project’s financing partners.

Check out the main highlights of IPÊ in the Amazon:

• 320 families benefited from the Low Negro River project
• More than 4000 people benefited from Participatory Biodiversity Monitoring
• More than 30 thousand people registered in the ICMBio national volunteer register.

Of our many achievements in our 30 years of history, I am very proud to have helped form our team. Some of the members who founded the organization were young interns working on the conservation project for the black lion tamarin (Leontopithecus chrysopygus), Claudio Padua's doctoral subject in Morro do Diabo State Park (PEMD), extreme west of the state of São Paulo, known as Pontal do Paranapanema. They were attracted by the chance to go out into the field and put into practice what they theoretically learned in the classroom. With them, we founded IPÊ in 1992, a remarkable year for nature conservation in Brazil and in the world, especially on account of Rio-92, the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. Conservation was on the rise at that time! We wanted to save the world!

Claudio's doctorate showed the ecology of the black lion tamarin and its plasticity, or how this small primate behaved and lived in the different habitats found in PEMD, the largest remnant of native forest of the species. The tamarin had been considered extinct for over 60 years and was among the 10 most endangered species on the IUCN list at the time. The study, planned to last a year, ended up taking three and a half years, precious time for us to understand the complexity of conservation. We discovered that the range of needs is much greater than the study of a species, even though we know that this is a fundamental step to protect any element of nature.

Other fields were added, such as habitat protection combined with income generation, especially for the less fortunate. Since the region is the second poorest in the state of São Paulo, the IPÊ team began to seek sustainable alternatives to improve the lives of local families, combining income with environmental conservation. We then started offering workshops on how to start and maintain seedling nurseries for reforestation, how to plant Agroforestry Systems (AFS) and produce handicrafts inspired by regional species.

We then took a bigger step, planning the landscape as a whole, outlining the priority areas that deserve increased attention in the forest restoration program. One of the results is what we call the Map of Dreams for Pontal, composed of images that indicate where forest corridors, small forests or protection strips around the remaining native forests must be planted.

We also look for influencing public policies that benefit nature and people, whenever possible. This has been possible through the results of our surveys, on the basis of which we make decisions. Examples include the creation of a new protected area, the Mico-Leão Preto Ecological Station, and the inclusion of environmental issues in the drafting of regional socio-environmental laws.

The integrated actions became our Conservation Model, heavily inspired by Conservation Biology, a theme that originated one of the institute’s most relevant fronts, conservation education. The desire to share knowledge was born along with the creation of IPÊ, in Piracicaba (SP). We wanted to have an academic arm from the beginning, but after some failed attempts, we ended up founding our own school in 1996, Brazilian Center for Conservation Biology, which evolved into School of Environmental Conservation and Sustainability - ESCAS.

A few years later, ESCAS-IPÊ obtained approval from Capes to offer the first Professional Master's Degree in the environmental area in the country, in 2008, being also the first socio-environmental NGO to obtain this accreditation. We fulfilled all the necessary requirements, such as the number of PhDs and publications. We have also developed a postgraduate course in Social and Environmental Business and we still offer short courses in numerous topics, such as ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance).

Becoming more experienced and ready to coordinate their own projects, some of the co-founders of IPÊ took new initiatives, forming interdisciplinary teams and researching other species such as jaguar, black-faced lion tamarin (studies we have conducted for 15 years), manatee, and tapir, which led us to biomes such as the Pantanal and the Cerrado. IPÊ has also been working for decades with the issue of protection of springs and springs that make up the Cantareira System (SP), on which millions of people and countless industries depend. Comprehensive studies of adequate reforestation and changes to agricultural practices have been applied with regional success. In the Amazon, IPÊ has been present for many years in Lower Rio Negro and even own a school boat that allows sailing through riverside communities and promoting initiatives such as community-based tourism and the production chain of sustainable goods. In other Amazon regions, IPÊ works with conservation units, several public agencies and civil society, promoting integrated conservation solutions.

In 2003, we created a Sustainable Business Unit, for integration with the private sector, in addition to taking care of community products. Our business partnerships have been fundamental, as they allow us to establish ourselves as an institution, investing in management and transparency, from the rendering of accounts to the communication of our projects, thus granting professionalism to our work.

None of this would be possible without an engaged team that shares common ideals. These feelings multiply and end up going beyond our internal team.

Our ESCAS-IPÊ students also promote socio-environmental transformations. They are IPÊ seeds spread over several places in Brazil and the world. This legacy makes a difference. Education with the noble purpose of protecting life brings collective benefits that become even stronger when we use science as a starting point for action. It is a great investment for a more promising future. Our advisors and partners also join forces in the achievements: there are 6 million trees planted in the Atlantic Forest, more than 7 thousand students have studied at ESCAS-IPÊ, more than 200 families benefited and 12 thousand people positively impacted every year by our actions.

IPÊ’s causes move people and attract them to the institution's projects. Defending life, whether plant, animal or people, contributes to the balance of elements that guarantee the natural dynamics of everything that inhabits the Earth. This principle provides opportunities for people who might not otherwise have had them, to lead more dignified lives, and at the same time contribute to some aspect of local nature conservation.

Biodiversity conservation with sustainability and social improvements has been an arduous path that needs continuity and persistence. Demands increase over time, as pressures are intense and increasing. But the strength seems to come from within each one who gets involved and feels the pulse of the charm of protecting the socio-environmental riches that we have inherited on this planet. Perhaps this is the secret of IPÊ's history: working for a cause greater than ourselves as individuals. It is the cry for the wholeness of life in its fullest manifestation. The strength that drives us is the will to be better and better to contribute to what we believe to be valuable.

Suzana Padua

President of IPÊ

The Navigating Entrepreneurial Education in the Amazon project started in September of 2021, with the objective of supporting enterprises and value chains in the Puranga Conquista Sustainable Development Reserve (RDS), in the state of Amazonas. In partnership with LinkedIn, and support from LIRA/IPÊ* – (Integrated Legacy of the Amazon Region), this work aims to awaken a systematic view on the importance of the sustainable use of biodiversity, and the conservation of standing forests.

In September and October of 2021, IPÊ researchers extensively mapped community ventures in the 17 communities that make up the RDS, the result of which guides the project's performance with entrepreneurs. The project is supported by Maíra I, the IPÊ school boat, donated by Grupo Martins in 2002.

In the survey, the researchers highlighted the great influence of tourism and handicraft value chains in the region as income-generating activities for local communities. These activities are associated with two other value chains, fishing and agriculture, which often appear as socio-biodiversity products sold during tourist visits.

Fishing is a subsistence enterprise for most families (106), and influences the income of 14 of the 17 communities in the RDS. Agriculture, on the other hand, is the enterprise of 105 families in 13 communities and goes beyond subsistence, as the products are sold at markets and generate income.

Handicrafts are practiced in 14 communities. Of the total of 79 families, 69 of them utilize the activity as a source of income. This enterprise is part of the local culture, and can be found everywhere from pieces of adornment to utensils for everyday activities. Tourism is the fourth most relevant enterprise in this survey: 73 families from 14 communities responded that they work in this enterprise, although only 37 families claim to have a monthly income from it.

Timber extraction, animal husbandry, collection of plant extracts, cooking, natural cosmetics, and stitchcraft also appeared as local activities, but to a lesser extent.

Challenges and Opportunities

In the Amazon, there are countless opportunities for generating income and a high quality of life through the restructuring of economic agents, and products and services of sociobiodiversity. Currently, the logistic, technologic, organizational, and productive obstacles point towards products and services with high “transactional cost”. In other words, sociobiodiversity value chains fail both in the transit of goods and services and in their exposure to potential consumers.

“This survey gives us an overview of the main activities where entrepreneurs are putting their efforts. All RDS communities have the potential for the development of raised value chains. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the local economy of these communities became even more fragile, making it important to take a more efficient look into mitigating negative impacts and overcoming extreme events. We now want to structure a plan so that we can support and help leverage these projects, always with a focus on socio-environmental conservation as a priority”, highlights Nailza Pereira Porto, general coordinator of the project (photo).

Tourism was one of the sectors most impacted by COVID-19, and community-based tourism was directly affected with the closure of protected areas for visitation, as a result of the pandemic. According to the survey, some of the key aspects for the development of support strategies include the challenge of marketing agricultural products, and the regularization and social organization of associations for farmers, fishermen, artisans and tourism.

“Without a doubt, handicrafts and tourism are the enterprises that are already better structured in terms of infrastructure and people trained for these activities. In other words, they are already part of a routine with a regular flow of visitors, they already offer food services, infrastructure for restaurants and inns, boat trips, jungle trails and night camps in the forest”, says Fernanda Freda, executive coordinator of the project.

IPÊ held a Biosafety Protocol Course for Enterprises and Tourist Attractions as the first event to support the enterprises, contributing to a safe return to regular activities after the reopening of the RDS for visits.
