Summary
Summary: Among the main results achieved by Puxirum, the following stand out: a. Success in the extractivist communities' struggle for creation of new Extractive Reserves. Indeed, during project execution, thanks to the effort of the Puxirum team and its allies, 24 reserves were created in the Amazon, with 4,737,800 ha, (14.0% of the area of the Republic of Finland). 14 of these new Extractive Reserves (2,615,000 ha) and a Sustainable Development Reserve (65,000 ha) were created in the state of Pará (2,680,000 ha). This was possible largely because of the CNS effort, which, through Puxirum, mobilized and marshaled extractive communities, involving civil society in putting pressure on government. In Pará alone, over 12 Extractive Reserves are currently in an advanced stage of studies for creation, 5 of which spread over 650,000 ha and the remaining 7 are not yet defined. 96 more areas in Brazil are in the first stages of studies for transformation into Extractive Reserves. b. Through the Puxirum project, CNS was very successful in establishing partnerships and raising funds. Support from PRODEX, PRONAF and INCRA stands out, adding up to US$2,450,000.00 (R$5,350,000.00) for productive activities and improvements to the households of the Tapajós-Arapiuns Extractive Reserve extractivisits. c. To contribute to Extractive Reserve sustainability, CNS mobilized BNDES funds in the amount of R$30,000,000.00 (US$13,640,000.00) for development and implementation of management plans for Amazon Extractive Reserves. d. With Puxirum support, CNS developed joint activities in 34 municipalities of the Southeastern Pará, Isles, Lower Tocantins, Guajarina and Salgado regions, involving approximately 204 associations, 20 unions, 12 fisher colonies and 4 cooperatives1. Furthermore, CAAM is currently a reference for capacity-building in the region, where 36 more events have been carried out for capacity-building
