Amazon

The Tikuna community is an indigenous ethnic group that lives mainly in the Amazon region, in countries such as Brazil, Colombia and Peru. They are known for their rich culture, which includes traditions, crafts, natural medicine and a deep bond with the rainforest. However, they face challenges such as land loss, pressure on their natural resources and the struggle to preserve their cultural identity in a changing world.

The community, especially the Liberato family with whom we have been cultivating a relationship for over 5 years, works palo sangre wood. Also known as blood wood. It is a tropical species known for its distinctive dark red color. It is used in the manufacture of fine furniture, musical instruments and objects due to its beauty and durability. It is very important that wood comes from sustainable sources, as illegal trade can threaten the existence of these species.
