In the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, the government agencies SEBRAE and EMBRATUR have a project to develop ecotourism and cultural tourism in the mountains of the sertão region of our state. The project is elaborated in Portuguese!

Turismo Sustentável é aquele que busca minimizar os impactos ambientais e sócio-culturais, ao mesmo tempo que promove benefícios O Ecoturismo é Turismo Sustentável em áreas naturais, que beneficia o meio ambiente e as comunidades visitadas e que promove o aprendizado, respeito e consciência sobre aspectos  ambientais e culturais.

PROJECT SERNATIVO

The ecological reserve (RPPN) SerNativo was founded in 1997 by Dra. Cecília Gonçalves de Medeiros, a Brazilian biologist, dedicated to the protection of the 'caatinga', to operate a research center on 'medicinal plants', to promote education and conservation amongst the local population, and to develop responsible eco-cultural tourism in the sertão.

This project fits the objectives of the state, governmental agencies, and the objectives of the Andetur Brazilian Travel Club in promoting soft-adventure, rural, cultural and ecotourism.
