Bioconstruction and native bees of the Caatinga in the interior of Bahia
The experience
Participate in our bioconstruction project and, as a bonus, help the native bees of the Caatinga!\nThe initial project is to finish our house on the farm (in bioconstruction) so that we can then focus on the main missions we have chosen for our life: starting a syntropic agroforestry area, protecting and replenishing the region's native bees, and reforesting Caatinga land.
