Meet the Jaborandi Project
Jaborandi (Pilocarpus microphyllus) is crucial in the production of medications for glaucoma and xerostomia. Due to its endangered status, sustainable management is essential for its preservation. The program promotes responsible harvesting, provides training, distributes management tools, and implements seedling production for intercropping. These actions ensure traceability, direct purchases, and generate income for local communities, balancing environmental preservation and the sustainable use of forests.
