In the past, the community had cutting trees in the forest as our only way to earn income. Here, people often didn’t have a chance to study, but due to most of the time being spent in the forest, the forest educated us. We have learned how to read nature.\n\nHowever, due to extreme droughts in the Amazon, our guests cannot reach our communities in those seasons. This threatens the new, sustainable ways we’ve found to support ourselves, like ecotourism and conservation-based income.\n\n--\n\n####  📜 Our Solution\n\nToday, our community can make money through less harmful activities such as tourism, fishing, and biodiversity monitoring—like the work we do with GainForest—without having to spend months away in the forest.\n\nWe have a Jungle Inn on the Negro River margin where we earn a living by conserving our biodiversity and teaching visitors about our territories. Our community now thrives through non-extractive activities like community-based tourism, artcrafts, and selling fruits and fish.\n\nWe monitor biodiversity in our territory using Audiomoths and drone imaging from the canopy of our most vital trees. With the help of the GainForest team, we combine traditional knowledge of flowering and fruiting seasons with precise tree mapping to create digital maps that guide us directly to productive trees. This reduces long forest searches to single-day operations, significantly improving harvesting efficiency and lowering our exposure to diseases such as malaria and dengue.\n\n--\n\n####  🌱 Our Organisation / Community\n\nWe are a forest-based community transitioning from extractive livelihoods to conservation-driven income. Through partnerships with innovative projects like GainForest, we’re proving that protecting biodiversity can also sustain families.\n\n--\n\n####  🖼️ See Our Impact\n\n![alt text](https://www.ecocertain.xyz/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fhypercert-image%2F42220-0x16bA53B74c234C870c61EFC04cD418B8f2865959-32326824857489154029020587706017980088320&w=384&q=75)\n\n--\n\n####  🔗 View Our Hypercert\n[https://www.ecocertain.xyz/hypercert/42220-0x16bA53B74c234C870c61EFC04cD418B8f2865959-32326824857489154029020587706017980088320](url))\n\n--\n\n####  📝 What This Hypercert Represents:\n\nAudio recorder implementation and sound analysis were essential for capturing bird, frog, insect, and mammal species richness and their daily dynamics. This helps us:\n\n- Identify the best hours for hunting and guiding guests\n- Spot culturally important species like the Urutau (the ghost bird, or Moon’s mother)\n- Generate accurate biodiversity data\n- Provide youth with support income through GainForest’s Conservation Data Income (CDI)\n\nThese solutions offer reliable financial support while strengthening and preserving our traditional way of life.\n\n--\n\n#### ✅ Proof That It’s Working\n\nThe income we earn from biodiversity monitoring through GainForest provides essential financial support. It also gives us information about local species that enrich our guided tours and help educate visitors.\n\n--\n\n### 📂 See the Proof of Impact\n[https://legacy.gainforest.app/305a905ca8add1b2298efa0bd15eade42db038a7084b059b09bef89979517d68/biodiversity-observations-circadian](url)\n\n--\n\n####  💡 Join Us in Making a Difference!\n\nSupport our journey toward conserving the Amazon through traditional knowledge, biodiversity monitoring, and regenerative income.
