Pilot Project: Bowen’s Collaboration with The Nukini in Brazil

Nukini Jaguar People

On Monday, March 9, 2026 at 7:30pm, attend the Bowen Rotary meeting to learn about an exciting Village to Village pilot project proposing a new collaboration between Bowen Island and the Nukini people in the remote westernmost region of the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest.

The Nukini — the ‘Jaguar People’ – have a special connection to this sacred animal and they are dedicated to restoring their forests and reclaiming their traditional culture, language, and spirituality.

The Amazon Reforest Alliance, founded by João and Alice Fortes, is sharing the seeds of regenerative practices, and forging alliances with some of the most remote and underserved communities in the Amazon who are striving to give back to the land while strengthening their food security.

Come find out more about this initiative and how you can be part of it. All members of the Bowen Island Community are invited. There is no charge.

Meeting location: Artisan Eats, 539 ARTISAN LANE IN ARTISAN SQUARE, BOWEN ISLAND
