The Environmental Manager of the CIR, Jéssica Maria, spoke about the implementation of the work in the region.

This is the first fair in the region, there are implementations and activities aimed at the life plan of the Serra da Moça Indigenous Land, in which we have a partnership with the International Institute of Education of Brazil (IEB), Nature and Culture International (NCI) in the Well Living Project, a project aimed at the collective good of our peoples, who only need support for the initiatives they have been carrying out and developing in their territories, so I always say that our mother earth is sacred, it is from it that we take our production, it is from it that we take our healthy food, without poison and totally organic. said Maria Betânia. Another great partner of the projects aimed at the regions is USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development), which like IEB, NCI, and CIR, is part of this great chain of logistical and material support to indigenous communities.
