Partners:
The National Council of Extractivist Populations (CNS)
Puxirum Fund
Stakeholders: Regional CNS organisations and local federations and associations of forest dwellers.
Through the Porongaço project, the National Council of Extractivist Populations (CNS) and the Puxirum Fund, in partnership with the Institute for Society, Population and Nature (ISPN) as the project’s fiscal sponsor, aim to support regularising the land tenure of extractivist communities’ collective territories in the state of Pará, Brazil.
The project seeks to protect approximately 1.7 million hectares of forested areas across 47 territories, benefitting 26,663 families in over 100 communities. Activities include strengthening the State Network of Extractivist Women and Extractivist Youth and advancing formal land regularisation processes. These activities will help reduce deforestation and degradation, and their associated greenhouse gas emissions, across the target area.
The project will work closely with important government agencies such as the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio), National Institute for Colonisation and Agrarian Reform (INCRA), Secretariat of Federal Property (SPU), and the Pará Land Institute (ITERPA).
