8 - ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We thank the people and institutions that participated in this project, without whom its completion would not have been possible. IBAMA’s contribution was crucial, particularly the dedication and professionalism of José Lima and the nurserymen of this institution in Rio Branco, Acre. The efforts of CAEX, particularly through their Brazil Nut Project (Projeto Castanha), have also been fundamental for project success. Their assistance in the scientific and social aspects of the work, as well as the exchange of ideas, greatly enriched this project.
We would also like to thank the communities of Seringal São Miguel, Seringal São José, and Extractive Reserve Cachoeira. Finally, we are immensely grateful to the individual families who were with us at all the stages of the project, demonstrating the value of participatory activities and traditional experiences in achieving promising scientific results with practical application.
