NAWÁ means another people, another people, and it is the way
indigenous peoples refer to non-indigenous people.
Our goal is to bring awareness and education
about the environment, the forest and its native people,
that has so much to teach us.
For this, we act as a bridge between the Nawás and the Forest, integrating innovative sustainability projects and
preservation through sponsors and stakeholders.

Our first activities are concentrated in Aldeia Ni Yuxibu Altamira, located in the Indigenous Land Seringal Independência, close to the municipality of Jordão, in Acre.
We provide contact and immersion of the Nawás with indigenous peoples through annual trips to Ni Yuxibu Village.
In addition to a cultural and anthropological experience, this project enables the dissemination of ancestral traditions and respect for nature.
As a way to expand and disseminate the knowledge of native peoples, we collaborate with projects and publications of materials that encourage the study and preservation of Brazilian indigenous cultures.
The development of environmentally conscious products, as well as the sale of handicrafts produced by forest artisans, are ways to encourage the wide dissemination of our projects and finance initiatives for the forest.
With the objective of human development, through educational lectures we take information to raise awareness of groups of the most diverse ages and backgrounds regarding the forest, the environment and its native peoples. Mentoring aims to be a bridge between companies and the preservation of indigenous cultures and natural resources.
