Personnel Overview
Roberto Lamego - Director
In 20 years as farm vet in Brazil, I saw the destruction of the environment and could study the economic and social pressures that lead to this. In 1993 I started a project to teach farmers to protect and restore the environment and wildlife while earning a living using resources sustainably. The project has three elements - a Wildlife Sanctuary, an NGO and an Agroforestry Educational Center.
Marcelo Domenech - Agronomist
Long term partner that is helping the Project since the beginning.
