Instituto Juruá

The Juruá Institute is a non-profit civil organization formed by conservationists and researchers in strong partnership with community leaders and local associations. The Juruá Institute supports the participatory management of natural resources in the Amazon through applied science, financial support, and training for local communities, enabling them to manage their natural resources and protect their territory sustainably.

Its mission is to develop and support positive initiatives for the use of natural resources in the Amazon, promoting biodiversity conservation, food sovereignty, income generation and improving the quality of life of Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities, based on the integration of scientific research, traditional knowledge and local protagonism.

The Juruá Institute aims to contribute to the consolidation of a new conservation paradigm based on the confluence of knowledge and local protagonism as a way of guaranteeing an environmentally healthy and socially just future for the Amazon.
