I'm an agroecological forester, entusiastic in the permacultural approach, working with farmers around the landscape of Zona da Mata, inside one of the most beautiful nature mosaics in the world; a "hotspot of biodiversity" named Mata Atlantica biome (Brazilian Atlantic Forest). We live across montains with a great diversity of agricultural cultures, varying from pasture and cofee crops, to agroforestry systems and agroextrativism of the natural resources.
On my free time I do play "caxa" in a percussion group inspired by the Recife rithym, the Maracatu.
