Amazônia is a non-profit organization committed for 20 years to the protection of the Amazon rainforest, a biome put at risk by multiple threats of local and global origin.
Amazônia was born in Italy but acts, grows and forges alliances in Brazil, in the heart of the forest, with the traditional populations that inhabit it.

It is necessary to take sides and contribute to the preservation of the forest also starting from our food lifestyles.
See the actions that the COSPE campaign carries out to save their forest and ours.
Candela started in 1989 on the initiative of a group of professionals working within organizations that provided support to Peruvian producers. From the outset, the goal was to offer marketing services to the Andean and indigenous production realities that cultivated Amazonian nuts; these workers were immature from a commercial point of view, but they had a great deal of experience in the care and conservation of the forest. A collaboration born with the aim of saving the territory and the local economy.
The Consortium of Sateré-Mawé Producers (CPSM) was born from the Council of the Tribe (CGTSM), an organization derived from the union of the Amazonian tribe of the Sateré-Mawé (which includes 7,000 people distributed in 66 villages), in order to claim their rights and protect the Amazonian ecosystem, which represents their past and their future. Subsequently, the Tribal Council became the grassroots organization representing the Amazonian people of the Sateré-Mawé, which also fulfills the role of conduit for traditional land management.
