Estrada do Camboatá, 2300 . Guadalupe Shopping CO2In a pioneering initiative, allying the motto of the Rio de Janeiro International Short Film Festival – Curta Cinema – CINEMA FOR EVERYONE to the preservation of the environment, the Festival has acquired carbon credits – a compensation for emissions of greenhouse gases by environmental actions undertaken by traditional Amazon communities themselves. The NGO Rede Povos da Floresta (Forest Peoples’ Network) will issue the certificate and will perform the neutralization of 22 tons of greenhouse gases with the reforestation of the YORENKA ÃTAME (Wisdom of the Forest) area in Alto Juruá. The Festival encountered in its partnership with the Ashaninka indigenous community – located in the border area between the state of Acre and Peru and which boasts audiovisual productions – the possibility of financing the monitoring of interventions in reforestation and recomposition of biodiversity and thus contribute to the preservation and dissemination of the environmental knowledge of the inhabitants of the forest which will be reflected in their audiovisual work.
