Acai with the Kayapo in Brazil
The Kayapo Indigenous group of Pará, Brazil eat wild Acaithat grows in their protected rain forest. The health of the Kayapo and the rain forest are in constant jeopardy. Loggers and miners threaten to deforest the area as big as the size of New York State. The Kayapo need to generate a sustainable income from their renewable forest products to meet their needs and ward off the mass infiltration in their area. Dr. Rodolfo Salm, tropical biologist and Dr. Lisa Feder, cultural anthropologist, are raising the money to reforest barren lands with Acaitrees, a source of nutrition for the Kayapo and a potential source of sustainable income for this people. For more information, contact Lisa Feder at lkf7@cornell.edu.

Leave the Kayapo …
Leave the Kayapo alone. Their traditional/conservationist/Shamanistic society protects the planet, without it Earth would be like Mars.

Dr, Feder
Thank you so much for bringing to story of the Kayapo to us. Acai is such a wonderful food, but also is great to know the positive effect harvesting Acai has on the natives of Brazil and the Rain Forest.
To appreciate this wonderful food, and reflect on the Kayapo is something I will always do now after seeing your video when I enjoy Acai.
Perhaps I will get to visit the Kayapo someday myself. Thank you for your inspiration and work.
Best Regards,
David
