As a platform for cultural &amp; regeneration projects FUTURO NATIVO (<a href="http://www.futuronativo.org" 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 3 indigenous tribes in the Brazilian Amazon, the Huni Kui, the Yawanawa and the Kuntanawa. 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: TREE NURSERIES - BUILDING THE BASICSWe 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. A typical 10m x 12m nursery costs between $3000 - $4000 depending on availability of power and water. <h3><img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmbugfxqHkmCfqBotTa8AB35jZFomeDkWUraPRAiQChaEY"></h3> EDUCATIONAL EVENTS - TEACHING &amp; LEARNINGWe 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. <img src="https://user-images.strikinglycdn.com/res/hrscywv4p/image/upload/c_limit,fl_lossy,h_1440,w_720,f_auto,q_100/4223673/981989_133101.png"> PLANT LIBRARIES - PRESERVING CULTUREWe support indigenous villages to build living plant libraries where hundreds of varieties of medicinal species are found in one place, to educate children and visitors on native remedies of modern day medicine derived from the jungle, and how we use the forest as a natural pharmacy. Once the library is built, the project then hosts visitors. A typical plant library, study materials and basic accommodation facilities for visitors costs between $5000-$6000 per library. <img src="https://user-images.strikinglycdn.com/res/hrscywv4p/image/upload/c_limit,fl_lossy,h_1440,w_720,f_auto,q_100/4223673/656344_864577.jpeg"><h3> </h3>AGROFORESTRY - PLANTING THE FUTUREWe 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. The seeds of many of these species are also used in the traditional craft making, in particular the Acai seed which is used for jewellery making and basket weaving. Each agroforestry project is ongoing, annual cost of sourcing the seed and maintenance of newly planted saplings estimated at $10,000 per annum based of 50,000 new trees per year. <img src="https://user-images.strikinglycdn.com/res/hrscywv4p/image/upload/c_limit,fl_lossy,h_1440,w_720,f_auto,q_100/4223673/378_575580.png"><h3> </h3>MUSIC PRODUCTION - INDIGENOUS VOICESThe 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. In alliance with Agami Seeds of Light, and the record label Agami Records we will support them in to product professionally mastered tracks that can be released into our mainstream channels, Spotify, YouTube, Bandcamp, and SoundCloud. Each recording kit typically costs between $1000-$2000. <img src="https://user-images.strikinglycdn.com/res/hrscywv4p/image/upload/c_limit,fl_lossy,h_1440,w_720,f_auto,q_100/4223673/443716_357297.png"> ARTISANAL CRAFTS - SHARING TRADITIONThe long linage of cultural craftsmanship still remains strong in the villages, we support (mostly women) in their indigenous crafts making of jewellery, basket weaving, ceramics and headdresses. We will support the villages to sell their crafts within boutique shops and online stores. A typical online store, stock and production cost ranges between $2000-$5000. <img src="https://user-images.strikinglycdn.com/res/hrscywv4p/image/upload/c_limit,fl_lossy,h_1440,w_720,f_auto,q_100/4223673/821871_936490.png"><h2> </h2>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.
