Education of local communities and systematic solutions
Project Background
The Conservation and Ecotourism Program preserves a culturally rich ecosystem and has become a regional reference in education, awareness, and ecotourism activities.
Anchored by a small eco-sanctuary in the heart of the reserve, participants can experience the beauty and majesty of the unspoiled Amazon Forest, a paradise on Earth.
This program offers participants a unique opportunity to engage with the energy and culture of local traditional communities while providing these communities with economic self-empowerment. By turning their craftwork, expertise, and knowledge of the forest into economic stability, the program supports both conservation and community development.
Our Activities
To develop the idea of rainforest ecotourism in the Amazon, IEUNI aligns with strategies:
Training and Employment
Employ and train locals to become educators and ambassadors of their cultural and ecological knowledge.
Knowledge Exchange
Facilitate workshops and peer-to-peer learning sessions to share traditional wisdom and sustainable practices with global audiences.
Cultural Preservation
Support programs that ensure the transmission of traditional knowledge from elders to youth, preserving languages and cultural practices.
Sustainable Livelihoods
Develop eco-friendly economic opportunities, such as sustainable harvesting and ecotourism, that respect local heritage and promote conservation
