To celebrate Tree Day in the Bahia Southern Lowlands, the Land Conservation Organization (OCT) coordinated a special programming with lectures and movies for local community associations.

Gathered at the head Office of the Pratigi Environmental Protection Area Guardian Association (AGIR) in Serra da Papuã, the participants shared information about the carbon market, listened to the lecture by Guilherme Valladares, President of the Environmental VP, and the work developed by the Extrema City Water Conservation Program in Minas Gerais.

OCT and AGIR are institutions tied to the Bahia Southern Lowlands Environmental Protection Area Mosaic Integrated and Sustainable Development Program (PDIS), supported by the Odebrecht Foundation.

Youth, Book, Work, Environment, Cooperativism, Historical Heritage and Folklore Days were also part of the PDIS calendar of events this year with aims of strengthening the relationship with the communities and PDIS.
