Ecological Awareness

Ecological awareness is at the core of the Ilha do Mel Nativo project, encouraging visitors and residents of Pontal do Sul and Ilha do Mel to understand and protect the Atlantic Forest ecosystem. Through education on native stingless bees, coastal biodiversity and sustainable practices, the initiative strengthens community responsibility and fosters long-term environmental stewardship along the Paraná Coast.

Ilha do Mel Nativo is an environmental initiative based in Pontal do Sul and along the coastal region of Paraná, Brazil. Our mission is to promote awareness, conservation and appreciation of the biodiversity of this Atlantic Forest ecosystem with a special focus on pollination processes and Brazil’s native stingless bees.
