Candela - Peru
Candela Peru works with 273 castaeros (Brazil nut gatherers) and their families who live along the Madre de Dios river in the Peruvian rainforest. Brazil nut pods fall naturally from trees in the rainforest which are over 50 meters high. The castaeros then crack open the pods with machetes and extract the nuts, which are used for food or oil. The castaeros livelihood depends on the sound and responsible management of forest resources and they are working closely with the staff of Candela to improve the quality of their organic product. Candela (Spanish for candle) Peru is an alternative trading organization, founded in 1989, which offers training to the nut gatherers in the areas of administration, sustainable resource management, and export procedures.
