FUTURO NATIVO (<a href="http://www.futuronativo.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.futuronativo.org</a>) is born to support our indigenous ancestors to rehabilitate the land, cultivate healthy jungles and share cultural traditions. Our mission is to protect forests and promote sustainable, economic growth in indigenous communities​. Currently we support 10 indigenous communities in the Brazilian Amazon, Peru, Costa Rica and Mexico. We have personal contact and lifelong friendships with each of the villages we support. Trust &amp; Transparency are our integral part of our Values and Ethics. All donations go directly towards the projects of: REFORESTATION &amp; CONSERVATIONWe support the villages to build tree nurseries to grow native species and begin agroforestry projects. We construct the nursery, source native seed and saplings and install water and irrigation equipment. We support the villages to reforest degraded land with productive species using agroforestry principles, to provide food security and a good nutritional diet to the inhabitants of the village. The surplus of these agro-forests can also be exchanged with neighbouring towns and villages and be used as an alternative economy. COMMUNITY, EDUCATION &amp; INFASTRUCTUREWe support educational events to share indigenous teachings and knowledge of the land with other indigenous and non indigenous neighbours, to understand why it is so important to keep the forest alive, stop deforestation of the land and how the forest can be productive. A typical 3 day event that invites indigenous leaders and non indigenous representatives of neighbouring towns, including food, accommodation and travel costs between $4000-$5000 for 100 attendees. MUSIC PRODUCTION &amp; ARTS The indigenous have long used singing as a way to tell their stories and deepen their connection with natures. The strength of their language and vibration of their songs are powerful and it's time to share those prayers with the world. We are supporting indigenous musicians by donating musical instruments, recording equipment, to produce professionally mastered tracks that can be released into our mainstream channels, Spotify, YouTube, Bandcamp, and SoundCloud. In traditional craft making, jewellery making and basket weaving the long linage of cultural craftsmanship still remains strong in the villages, we support (mostly women) in their indigenous crafts. We support the villages to produce &amp; sell their crafts within boutique shops and online stores. FUTURE VISION As stewards and guardians of the land Our Future Vision is to create large scale protected forest zones. Where land has been reforested and regenerated, this will be protected without threat from future exploitation.
