Research – know how it works

What we now generally consider as research, is space to try something out and interpret the results – taking action to vary or improve the outcome.

Research in particular needs money, energy, time and space. ACELPA tries to create this space for the people and their friendship with the earth. New methods are discussed and can be tried out. These experiences can be made accessible to other people.

Research needs direction

Our direction is sustainability and self-preservation. Low costs, due little financial resources. Community oriented and preserving living space and conserving resources.

Planting trees

What growing conditions do the trees need? ACELPA tries to research the growing conditions so that they can provide the right environment and habitat, like nurseries, necessary to grow the trees – whether for medical, timber or firewood.

Harvested storm damage and secondary forest, which is different in composition from primary forest, as it lacking the protective tree cover.

In order to grow rainforest special knowledge is necessary. For example, it is typical that the young trees always have a canopy, so special planting sequences are taken into account.

Cultivation of food and remedies – vegetable cultivation and fish farming

Increasing pollution of the environment and water is reducing the stocks of food. Fish prices vary greatly according to catch. Chickens from large production plants flood the market with cheap and artificially upgraded meat. Increasingly, this causes diseases in the population.

Dependency on financial resources is increasing in order to buy food at the market. Vegetables are “imported” from the coast and are expensive. Overall, the food situation is poor due to ignorance and lack of funds.

Biodynamic methods enable the cultivation of vegetables and produces better harvests – that convinces and encourages the farmers.

For educational opportunities, people have turned their migration agriculture into settled agriculture. The same methods that were traditionally used by migratory peoples are today harmful, see slash and burn. The fact is that people have little experience with permanent agriculture.

The principle of permaculture appeals to the inhabitants of the Amazon, they love like all people abundance in every moment. Principles of permaculture are taught to initiate meaningful action.

The bees of the amazon

We create new habitats

Over 150 different bee species live in the Amazon habitat. In view of the bee mortality of the Western world, it is important for us to explore their life.

Up to now, in the Amazon honey is only harvested, while wild bee nests are knocked down and emptied. ACELPA was able to expand from four to eight beehives and wild species were added. Housed in various dwellings, their behavior is studied.

Honey from apiculture does not exist yet. A goal of ACELPA is to produce and sell honey.
