About 80% of artisans in the Santarém region are women, mostly single mothers, who, in addition to being artisans, engage in extractive practices, entering the forest to search for the leaves of the Tucumanzeira palm, from which they obtain their main economic support. Focusing on their role in society and for the natural ecosystem, the PPT (Tucumanzeira Preservation and Planting Plan) was created, where for every X Tucumanzeiras used, X new Tucumanzeiras will be planted through seed capsules. This supports the culture that utilizes the Tucumanzeira of the Amazon, which is more than just a palm tree; it is an ancestral legacy.
Tucumanzeiro Na Porta De Casa was one of the finalists that pitched at the Closing Ceremony.
