“We have many to thank for the many successful projects in 2019. But the year of 2020 is a surprise to all. Unfortunately, humanity is reaping what it sowed for centuries. On moving away from nature, treating it as a resource, disrespecting everything and everybody, indiscriminately, little has remained intact. Undoubtedly, the virus is a consequence of all this imbalance. It has come as a yell to warn us: wake up!
This is an opportunity to appreciate life as a whole, considering the smallest of details and nuances, with colors, scents and sounds. An invitation for us to follow a different route from what we had been following, giving life another chance - ours and that of other beings. IPÊ has been making a contribution for protection and appreciation of life in Brazil. Purposes which are now showing themselves more important than ever. We hope that, in future, we may transfer more and more of our knowledge and values, infecting many with the desire to enjoy their lives to the fullest”.

“In 2019, Brazil was sadly marked by socio-environmental tragedies, like the rupture of the Brumadinho dam, oil leaks on the coast, and substantial expansion of forest fires in the Amazon. On the other hand, these tragedies contributed to raise awareness of such issues.
In the following year, 2020, this space was taken over by the Covid-19 crisis and by its results, adding more elements for reflection about our relations with the planet. For this reason, more than ever, our socio-environmental projects may offer relevant contributions to the construction of a true agenda for development in the post covid-19 period. Currently, as our society is constantly finding conflicts related to divergence and ideological polarization, we bet on cooperation. We hope that this report may help illustrate the interdependent relations, as well as the importance and the parts played by scientists, environmentalists, third sector organizations, and all those who dedicate themselves to an agenda for the good of the planet.”
