Barbara is the Director of the Kayapo Project<\/a> on behalf of the International Conservation Fund of Canada playing a\u00a0key role in support of Indigenous Peoples in conservation of very large areas of forest in Brazilian Amazon. She also has experience in capacity-building for territorial control and environmentally sustainable economic development and biodiversity conservation.<\/p>\n

In 1989\u00a0Barbara Zimmerman became involved with the indigenous activist movement of the Kayapo Indians of the Brazilian Amazon. Since then, she has worked with partner NGO\u2019s and Kayapo communities to help the Kayapo strengthen their capacity for protecting\u00a095,000 km2 of their legally ratified territories from deforestation.<\/p>\n

The first conservation enterprise with a Kayapo community was a biological research station that Dr Zimmerman established with the community of A\u2019Ukre in 1992.\u00a0The success of the A\u2019Ukre conservation and development model led international NGO supporters to expand investment with the Kayapo.\u00a0Dr Zimmerman helps with coordination and funding of conservation and development programs with the\u00a0Kayapo. The objective is to empower the Kayapo\u00a0to\u00a0continue protecting\u00a09,500,000 ha of their lands in the highly threatened southeastern Amazon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
