Fundação Vitória Amazônica

Fundação Vitória Amazônica (FVA) is a non-profit civil society organization that has worked for 30 years on socio-environmental innovation at different scales in the Amazon. It runs the "Conservação para Gente" program, which aims to leverage biodiversity conservation opportunities and secure concrete economic and social benefits for Amazonian populations, strengthening value chains such as handicrafts and natural fibers, non-timber forest products, fishing, traditional agriculture, and conservation-unit-based tourism. One of its strategies is Mercado Rio Negro, which works in partnership with associations and cooperatives providing support services for management, production, commercialization, and promotion of Amazonian products. FVA has a geoprocessing laboratory (LabGEO/FVA) and coordinates the "Rotas e Pegadas" project on integrated development of the Baixo Rio Negro Mosaic.
