Consortium for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Babassu Palm, Maranhão and Tocantins States, Brazil

Develop and multiply capacities that promote the sustainable use of babassu palm, a native species of the Cerrado, to demonstrate that a sustainable development model can help preserve biodiversity and be a viable alternative to conversion of forest to monoculture. Create a sustainable agro-extractive corridor through a consortium of community enterprises that work with the processing of babassu in the states of Maranhão and Tocantins.
