Résumé

In the Brazilian Amazon—one of the world's most vital ecosystems, regulating climate and sustaining unparalleled biodiversity—communities are redefining development by turning forest conservation into economic opportunity. This film follows an initiative near Belém that promotes sustainable livelihoods by transforming native resources such as murumuru and tucumã into high-value ingredients for global value chains[FM1.1]. At its core is the cooperative CAMTAUÁ, which demonstrates how local processing and entrepreneurship can increase income while preserving the forest. Supported by partners including Symrise and regional organizations, the programme empowers women and youth, strengthens community resilience, and fosters inclusive growth. By linking local innovation with global markets, the film reveals a model where environmental protection and economic progress go hand in hand—showing how forest communities can shape a more sustainable and equitable future.

Objectif

In 2025, the film became part of the BBC.com Living Legacy series, produced by BBC StoryWorks and promoted by IUCN. The series highlights how businesses and communities can work with nature to address global challenges such as biodiversity loss, ecosystem degradation, and climate change. Against the backdrop of accelerating environmental decline, it showcases nature-positive solutions that protect livelihoods while restoring ecosystems. With a global reach of over 450 million people across more than 200 countries and territories via BBC.com, the film gained significant international visibility. It was further featured at major global events, including London Climate Action Week, New York Climate Week, the IUCN World Conservation Congress, and COP30. Supported by Symrise and partners such as GIZ &customer (Natura) the film was amplified through extensive internal and external communication—spanning digital platforms, events, and global partner networks.
