Cō-Impact Sourcing Trip - Brazil
As varied as it is beautiful, Brazil boasts breathtaking coastlines, grandiose mountain ranges, open arid landscapes, and is widely recognized as having the largest and most biodiverse tract of tropical rainforest in the world. January to June is considered the “rainy season” in the Amazon. During this time, the Amazon River and its tributaries rise significantly (an average of 20 feet or more) and this “flooding” creates a unique window of access to thousands of Copaiba trees that otherwise could not be reached. Families work together during this season to sustainably collect oleoresin from the Copaiba trees in their harvesting areas.
