The 1st Ressemear meeting, held last October, was incredible! Since it’s impossible to describe everything that happened over those two days, we’ve put together a video highlighting the most memorable moments and testimonials from those who made a difference. Get inspired by this amazing community mobilization project in the Araguaia region!
1st Ressemear Meeting
After almost three years of community engagement work in the Araguaia region, the Black Jaguar Foundation organized the 1st Ressemear meeting – the BJF Araguaia Seed Network, in Santana do Araguaia (Pará).
The event brought together seed collectors from Pará and Tocantins, the Black Jaguar team – responsible for founding and developing the initiative – and representatives from Redário, the Xingu Seed Network, and other external buyers.
Beyond discussions on seed network organization in Brazil, we celebrated 2024’s achievements and recognized collectors who stood out for the quantity and variety of seeds collected.
Collectors also visited the Black Jaguar Foundation’s nursery, where the magic happens – the place where most of their collected seeds become seedlings or a beautiful muvuca to restore the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor.
On the second day, the collectors participated in roundtable discussions to determine the next steps for Ressemear.
