Strategic localization and resilient actuation

O IPAPAE is an entity objectively engaged in time and space, being in the right place in the right time. Nested in the intersection of two “APAs”
(Environmental Protection Areas) of the Capivara River and Guarajuba Lakes, allied with other entities and Associations of these “APAs”, through its Management Council, the IPAPAE, in its tem years of activities, has participated of the conservation of the Natural Patrimony, in benefit of the interests of native population of a threatened region, endangered by urbanization and degradation.

Barra do Jacuípe (City of Camaçari), at the North Shore of Salvador metropolitan region , in Bahia, has a considerable eco-tourism potential e and a great ecological value, is characterized by the fast realstate expansion. This process leads the native population, deprived of oportunities and worthy life conditions, to the disputed jobs offered by a confused and aggressive development, as the building of luxury houses and resorts, very often in conflict with environmental acceptable pratices.
