Really frustrating - complete lack of thought and professionalism by all involved.
Emailed the site manager on the 15th and haven’t had a response or acknowledgement .,.

And with Gilton who was part of a 170 MST farming families community - he was converting to growing Cocoa and had also planted some forest trees to provide shade, but was using Cassava for shade until the trees were established

Restoration, production and resilience 🌱🌳👨🏽‍🌾

Chatted about Vanilla pods with Alvaro and how he balances their production alongside other tree crops

A real privilege to be able to work with Indigenous and Quilombola communities, small farmers and MST, with local colleges and companies - all interested in agroforestry crop production and Atlantic Rainforest restoration

That suggests that they only have approval for closure to the 7th Dec - so 3 weeks ?

Not the 6 or 8 weeks mentioned in the newsletter.

I’ve emailed the construction company on the 15th and had no response.
