Collaboration is in our DNA. Through partnerships with diverse actors, various initiatives are created and nurtured within the Arapyaú ecosystem, where they can grow, strengthen, and eventually take flight, leaving their impact on society and the planet.
We work on social, economic, and environmental impact projects with a focus on different regions of the country.
Forest Peoples Connection
A project aimed at connecting 1 million people in a network, living in more than 8,000 forest community settlements, who contribute to the preservation of 120 million hectares in the Legal Amazon. Internet access acts as a catalyst for territorial protection and the social and economic development of these populations. The initiative is led by three grassroots organizations: the National Coordination of Articulation of Black Rural Quilombola Communities (Conaq), the Coordination of Indigenous Organizations of the Brazilian Amazon (Coiab), and the National Council of Extractive Populations (CNS), in partnership with over 40 civil society organizations.
Amazon Concertation
It is a diverse network that seeks solutions for the conservation and sustainable development of the various Amazons. The Concertation brings together more than 900 leaders and is made up of individuals, institutions, and companies.
The project was presented at the 2019 New York Climate Week, laying the foundations that would later become the Concertation. It represents a united effort to protect the forest from illegal activities and promote economic development that does not come at the expense of the forest.
Brazilian Coalition on Climate, Forests and Agriculture
This movement seeks to unite diverse voices to promote synergy between the agendas of protection, conservation, sustainable use of natural and planted forests, agriculture, and climate change adaptation. The Coalition is made up of over 400 representatives from the private sector, financial sector, academia, and civil society.
MapBiomas maps and monitors land cover and use in Brazil. It was created to make this data more accessible, aiming to promote conservation and the sustainable management of natural resources as a way to combat climate change.
Political Action Network for Sustainability
RAPS was concluded in April 2024. For 12 years, it impacted the Brazilian landscape, training leaders and bringing environmental and sustainability issues into government agendas, engaging across the entire political-ideological spectrum.
Escolhas enriches public debate by seeking data-driven solutions based on scientific rigor and evidence. Now independent from Arapyaú, we supported the project’s early development.
Southern Bahia Science and Technology Park
We support this initiative led by five public research institutions: UFSB, UESC, CEPLAC, IFBA, and IFBaiano. PCTSul aims to foster interaction and cooperation among universities, businesses, government, and non-governmental organizations, focusing on Biotechnology and Food, Agroforestry Chains, Information and Communication Technology, and Logistics.
Cocoa Innovation Center
O CIC é uma iniciativa do PCTSul e atua com análises nas amêndoas de cacau. Os testes avaliam a qualidade do produto, permitindo ao agricultor controle nos lotes e permite a venda como um cacau de qualidade, com um valor mais justo pela sua produção.
Regional Development Agency
The Southern Bahia Regional Development Agency (ADR) aims to contribute to the sustainable development of the region’s municipalities, seeking long-term and lasting impact. Linked to PCTSul, it takes a cross-cutting approach to realize and leverage the area’s potential.
An organization based in the district of Serra Grande, in the municipality of Uruçuca, that fosters community-based initiatives and socioeconomic enterprises to support local vocations.
