    Description

    🌱 A Sustainability NGO in Ilha Grande

    We are a non-profit organization located in Ilha Grande that focuses on sustainability projects. We are in the initial phase and have been active for one year.

    🌊 Our Focus on Beach Cleanups

    Here, we primarily focus on beach cleanups in Ilha Grande. We believe that a clean environment is essential for the health of our ecosystem and the well-being of the community. Our activities include waste collection on the beaches, where volunteers come together to remove litter and maintain the island's natural beauty. Additionally, we promote material separation to facilitate recycling and reduce pollution.

    Through these actions, we aim to transform Ilha Grande into a cleaner and more sustainable place where everyone can enjoy its natural splendor. Join us in this important mission!

    🛶 Access and Activities

    The location is easily accessible with trails leading to various parts of the island! We have kayaks available at the lodge, and when they are not in use by guests, volunteers can use them. Right in front of the lodge is the Blue Lagoon, a spot with crystal-clear waters!

    In addition to beach cleanups, we also hold educational moments with the caiçara population in local schools, promoting composting and gardening practices.

    🌿 Disconnection and Nature

    It's important to mention that we do not have internet connectivity. We are truly looking for travelers who want to disconnect from the hectic pace of life. We are isolated and do not have nearby tourist attractions, especially if you enjoy parties. If you appreciate nature, rural life, and the tranquility of the beaches, don't hesitate to reach out to us!
