We are a non-governmental organization established in 2000 by researchers, activists, and professors from Manuelzão, an extension project from Medical School at UFMG. In over 20 years working to defend the environment and human rights, we have pursued our mission, vision, and values like a fisherman casting his net into the river: in search of life, collective well-being, connection with nature, and survival. 2i6c1c
