Envol Vert’s contribution
Envol Vert had the opportunity to participate in ExpoAmazónica through a stand, thanks to its partner the Technical Administration of Forests and Forest Fauna (ATFFS) of Huánuco. During the event, Envol Vert introduced sustainable economic alternatives, such as black walnut (Juglans neotropica) and honey from stingless native bees (meliponas), as well as describing the activities carried out in Tingo María and Pichanaki. The Peruvian Forest Footprint was also presented as an awareness-raising tool, explaining the importance of knowing how our consumption can generate deforestation . Visitors were invited to complete questionnaires to find out their forest footprint. The latter is measured in square meters of impacted forest area, and promotes more sustainable practices.
