Uacari Sustainable Development Reserve

[6] On 17 October 2005 the Instituto Nacional de Colonização e Reforma Agrária (INCRA – National Institute for Colonization and Agrarian Reform) recognised the reserve as meeting the needs of 200 families of small rural producers, who would qualify for PRONAF support.

[7] In 2011 FAS and HRT Oil & Gas signed a partnership for investment in the reserve of R$4 million to be used for Bolsa Floresta and support programs.

The course consists of over a thousand hours of classes focused on the main products with economic potential in the Middle Juruá region such as rubber, flour, wood, andiroba oils, arapaima, liana-titica, turtles and alligators.

[3] Students prepare business plans at the end of the course for harvesting, processing and marketing the various types of product.

The course was given at the Bauana Centre for Conservation and Support for Sustainable Entrepreneurship, built in 2011 on the right bank of the Juruá through the partnership between FAS and HRT Oil & Gas.
