Directly on the Amazon River, a pristine and unique stretch of jungle has been continuously owned and occupied for more than a hundred years.   The present owner of the plateau, Don Pablo, is now in his 70s and recently suffered the loss of his wife and son. To move closer to his remaining family, he must now sell his family’s property. Unfortunately, Don Pablo's village and the land these families occupy are currently under siege from a large agri-business that shows little interest in the community’s long-term future or preserving the rare and valuable Amazonian species native to the region. These plants and animals rely on a delicate balance they have shared with the local communities for thousands of years. A large stand of aguaje trees on the land produce a fruit upon which hundreds of species depend.  With your assistance, this beautiful piece of land can become the basis of a conservation and educational center that nourishes entire families and allows them to continue to coexist with their unique environment. Time is quickly running out for the land to be purchased by Jorges Hachumak.

With your help, the land will become part of his vision to empower village families to invest their time and energy in sustainable, small-scale cultivation practices to supplement their traditional subsistence way of life.  By first implementing these practices on his own land, Jorge can directly employ more people from the local community and also provide education and training for the families in the surrounding communities in the same practices.
