Since its inception, it has worked with dozens of ethnic groups on projects which range from surveillance courses and training, to reforestation and teaching indigenous firefighting agents. Along with indigenous peoples, Kanindé is leading the the way for the protection and development of the Amazon and its forest tribes!
