Learn about the work routine at Sítio São José, in Torres RS, which has a continuous area of almost 9 hectares of preservation of the Catarinense Butiá, endemic to the region and a species seriously threatened with extinction. The site is close to the urban area of Torres, and has ecological trails and a viewpoint, where visitors can learn more about the dynamics of the species in a managed ecosystem, prioritizing the preservation of the natural characteristics of the landscape. The family's work supports actions to maintain the species and its habitat, raises awareness among visitors about the need to conserve natural resources and, through its products, shows the possibilities for including butiá in the diet. -------- Series Strategies and Actions for the Conservation of Sociobiodiversity Solidarity Production Chain of Native Fruits of RS Production: CETAP, Ecological Center and Arede Support: SEMA/RS and Neo Energia -------- Credits for this video: Production: Ecological Center Images and editing: Mirian Sperb and Gabriela Garcia Script and execution: Carla Dorneles and Communications of the Ecological Center
