One of the sites under consideration is the Mata Atlantica (Coastal Forest) area in the Southern Cone of the State of Bahia. This is a place where local poor communities are struggling to gain access to land via articulated political effort. We have been recently contacted by leaders of these communities seeking help with the various projects they deem vital: Reforestation, Human Rights, Youth Development, Education and Training, as well as Ecological/Environmental Projects.
