THE PROJECT: "ECOCIDADANIA" (Living in an Environmental Protected Area)

The "Ecocidadania" project has born and is developing in the West Coast of Ceará, one of Brazilian States. More exactly inside the environment protection area of Jericoacoara.

This project was initiated by IBAMA (the Protected Areas Management and Control Federal Bureau of Brazil). It has support by IBAMA itself, by SEMACE (State of Ceará's Environment Bureau), by Jericoacoara's Community and accepts any help and sponsor if judged correct.

Among main targets of this project are: a better kind of life for people already living inside the protected area, and an effective environmental preservation.

That can be obtained by some specific activities, like the following ones:

-- Education to Preserve Environment --
-- Help Native pre-existing Culture to Survive --
-- Create Artisans --
-- Trash Recycling and Re-use to Prevent Avoidable Pollution --
-- Courses to Make Handicrafts by use of Suitable Garbage --
-- Developing of Ecological Tourism --
-- Biodance --
-- Developing of Self-Knowledge --
-- Stimulate Creativity by Artistic Work --
