Quem foi que teve a ideia de jirico de chamar a natureza de biodiversidade? Bom, não sei bem quem foi... mas desconfio que foi uma galera interessada em dar um status diferente ao que faziam e valorizar a coisa toda. Inclusive valorizar a ideia de diversidade. A questão, porém, é que com isso a natureza se tornou algo distante, deixou definitivamente a cabeça das pessoas, se tornou só um cenário. A gente aqui quer mostrar que a natureza, mesmo travestida de biodiversidade, está presente em todos os aspectos de nossas vidas e que há uma enorme biodiversidade ligada a cada um dos produtos que consumimos. Em tempo: jirico também é biodiversidade!

We will introduce species of fauna and flora, specially birds, through a photographic mapping. The area of study comprises the region between Gonçalves and Sapucaí-Mirim cities in the State of Minas Gerais and São Bento do Sapucaí City, in the state of São Paulo, all part of Serra da Mantiqueira. It belongs to the ecological corridor of the Serra do Mar, a hotspot or prior area inside the Brazilian Atlantic RainForest (Mata Atlântica) for the conservation of flora species as well as an IBA (Important Bird Área – for the conservation of bird species).

We work hard to spread the culture of sustainability. We believe that the more people aware about the importance of this theme in the routine of their lives, soon we will have a world more balanced and fair. We believe that just as there was the “Iluminism” in the late 17th century now is the time for a new awareness.
