Ayrumã Ecovillage is a sustainable settlement of 42 members in Cerrado, the Brazilian Savannah. Its creation in 2012 has taken place through a circular governance process that counted on the participation of all our members and countless collaborators in constant learning and transformation.
In its formative process, a permacultural planning was carried out aiming at the environmental regeneration and conservation of a large part of the land, where the native forest is home to great biodiversity, preserving waters and native species of the Cerrado biome, one of the most biodiverse regions of the world.
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting sustainability and conservation of natural and cultural heritage.
Ayrumã carries out numerous activities focused on the valorization and rescue of socio-cultural traditions, environmental research and education, sustainability, and agroecology.
In order to strengthen a broad support network, Ayrumã has been articulating joint actions among community associations, schools and universities, third sector entities, and public administration.
Besides keeping on protecting 134 hectares of land in the Cerrado (the Brazilian savannah) – an internationally recognized biodiversity hotspot – through fire prevention and conduction of natural regeneration, Ayrumã Ecovillage promoted several activities related to environmental education and solidarity economy.
