This is a new development model in the Amazon, which aims to serve three aspects of sustainability: respect for the environment, social responsibility and economic success, all with a view to regional development. In partnership with the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV) and the Brazilian Biodiversity Fund (Funbio), a series of surveys and discussions were carried out by a multidisciplinary team, including Field research and collecting information about the local and regional reality. The result was a report that was presented in 2006, called “A Sustainable Juruti: Diagnosis and Recommendations”, which presented the model for implementing a local sustainable development agenda. The Sustainable Juruti Project has been working successfully, based on the so-called sustainability tripod: 1) the Sustainable Juruti Council 2) a System of Sustainability Indicators; and 3) the Sustainable Juruti Fund.
