The project aims to introduce emotional landscapes in the boundaries between the favelas and a National Park. The initiative has promoted new on site pedagogical practices through open classrooms of ambiental education which find the the landscape on an ideal scenario for the knowledge transference. It has fuelled new production and consumption models based on local micro economies and alternatives markets developing a farming net with a balance assisted by the sense of conservation, not only ambiental (fauna and flora) but also cultural (tacit knowledge, tradition, mythology and collective imagination).
