雨林中的巴西坚果合作社：保护与盈利双赢商业模式
Deep in the Amazon rainforest, hundreds of families collect Brazil nuts from wild trees that tower 50 meters above the ground. Unlike logging or cattle ranching, this ancient livelihood actually keeps the forest standing — and increasingly, it pays better than cutting trees down.
Brazil nut trees depend on specific bees and large rodents to reproduce, which means clear-cutting kills the harvest for decades. Cooperatives like the one in Xapuri, Brazil, have turned this ecological limitation into a market advantage: big international buyers now pay a premium for nuts certified as 'forest-friendly.'
