A project bringing access to technology and sustainable technology to remote communities in the Amazon
In Seringal Porongaba, a remote community in the state of Acre in Brazil, change is occurring. Previously an isolated community with limited connectivity and access to technology and infrastructure, it has recently welcomed a new communications tower for the internet, solar energy kits for residences, infrastructure improvements, training opportunities, health clinics and renovations to the local school.
Behind these developments in this and a handful of other communities, is an experienced, mission-led local project developer called brCarbon (www.brcarbon.com.br). Its vision is to turn standing forests into an attractive economic prospect for landowners across the Amazon and accelerate sustainable development for some of the most remote communities on earth.
