Other Sustainable Opportunities
Over the years, CONAPAC has also participated in and facilitated other projects in the rainforest communities in which we serve. These include:
-
CAMU CAMU PATCH -- Camu camu, a fruit containing nearly 30 times more Vitamin C than oranges, can be cultivated and processed into juice, jam, and many other products for the market. As little as one acre of land can produce more than a ton of fruit per season.
-
LATRINES -- The desire for clean environmentally efficient toilets is an ongoing need. The lack of this most basic necessity has motivated many donors to
provide funding for latrines. Many communities now have this improvement for their schools and the community but many more are yet to be built. CONAPAC will continue to facilitate construction for new latrines as funding permits.
As other ideas, opportunities, and situations present themselves, CONAPAC will continue to assist the communities along the Amazon and Napo Rivers with sustainable ways to improve their lives and protect the natural environment in which they live!
