Organization's Mission

SALVEASERRA mission is to spread awareness and knowledge of environmental conservation and sustainable development, with agroforestry farming and rural rehabilitation to maintaining farmers and their families in their lands. This can be achieved with the transformation of the actual system of land occupation for another one, holistic, self-sustainable, organic, biological, removable and permanent, balanced with the environment and the economic use of natural resources. As mission we have also to spread the concepts of citizenship and better education in order to achieve superior earnings and quality of life.

Organization's Programs

""A Day in the Forest" is an ecological trekking program, a Trail in the Rainforest; we utilize to show second grade students and other citizens the importance of the protection of Nature and its forests and mountain water sources. We created and maintain an Atlantic Rainforest Wildlife Sanctuary with 220 hectares in a seriously endangered forest area, that has very rich biodiversity of fauna and flora, (more than 200 described birds), where in certain areas we cultivate different Agroforestry systems plantations to demonstrate to farmers and forest owners that it is possible to protect the forests and live together with them and at the same time, with this familiarity and intimacy, ensure that better and more lasting economic results can be obtained from these sustainable agricultural methods.
