Bia Saldanha & VEJA – 16 Years of Protecting the Amazon 🌿✨

Since 2007, VEJA has been working with Bia Saldanha. This environmental activist is known for her involvement in protecting the Amazon forest. She has worked with local seringueiros communities and met the activist leader Chico Mendes, thanks to her cofoundation of the Brazilian green party in 1983. To protect the forest, she supports the seringueiros on a daily basis in their work and coordinates the various parties involved in rubber production for VEJA. She also provides technical support, which allows the seringueiros to transform their raw rubber into a semi-finished product themselves, with the help of the FDL or Liquid Rubber Technology process. https://project.veja-store.com
