The Journey and photographer Maristela Colucci visited two projects for nature preservation in southern Brazil. The Franca Austral Project was created to ensure the survival of the species that nearly became extinct in the 1980s. Today, those who visit Santa Catarina in winter can witness a spectacle of southern right whales, which come to the coast during their reproductive season.
From there, we went to learn about an initiative that combines the preservation of the native Araucaria forest with the development of local commerce, connecting small producers to companies that value products resulting from sustainable and conscious extraction of natural resources.
In a changing world, attitudes that transform the world.
