raw forest materials
Brazil
The project aimed to identify a model of regional development,
taking into account the rational use of forest resources. In this way, the project
sought the generation and distribution of income in the ASF, benefiting all
the members of the productive chain of forest goods. The main objectives in
the long term of the project were to motivate and promote the development based
on the forests of Western Amazon as part of one integrated policy of land use
in the area, using the State of Acre as a model.
