Today we’re talking about the forest of the semi-arid region: the Caatinga<\/strong>! When we think of forests, the image of the Amazon<\/strong> almost always comes to mind. This is the idea that has been built up in our imagination over time: the forest as something distant, dense and humid, located in another region of the country. <\/p>\n\n

But forest is also what’s close to us. For those who live in the capital, there is the Atlantic Forest<\/strong>, which runs through Recife<\/strong> and the entire Zona da Mata. And for those who live in the semi-arid region, the Caatinga<\/strong> is the native forest, the biome that sustains life, culture and food production. <\/p>\n\n

It’s Forest Month<\/em> and, more than ever, we need to look at the Semiarid forest<\/strong>, recognize its importance and strengthen its defense. A force that calls us once again to talk about the Caatinga Climate Week! <\/strong>To talk about this urgent and necessary issue, we invited Adriana Ramos, a <\/strong>specialist in environmental policies and a member of the Strategic Management Council of the Socio-Environmental Institute (ISA). Also with us is Vanessa Alves, a <\/strong>family farmer, from the Agroecology courses (UFRPE) and a member of the Escola dos Ventos. <\/p>\n\n
