Despite the clear need to conserve all of these attributes, the rate of deforestation in the region grows every year. In 2023, for example, 6.36 thousand Km² (close to the size of Macapá) of deforested area in the territory was recorded in the space of one year (Inpe, 2023). Pousada Trijunção is integrated into the territory with the aim of promoting regenerative tourism and, through our experiences of direct contact with the local fauna and flora, making each traveler a guardian of the biome.
REGENERATIVE TOURISM presupposes, besides the implementation of good practices that improve the territory, the participation of the whole tourism chain in the integrated planning process:
Located in the border of the states of Bahia, Goiás, and Minas Gerais and in contrast with the agribusiness push in the region, Fazenda Trijunção was founded in 1995 with the goal of investing in sustainable productive activities, coupled with improved life quality of the adjacent communities, and biodiversity preservation initiatives.
There are 33,000 hectares and almost three decades dedicated to conservation projects and research initiatives, in partnership with organizations such as Onçafari and Embrapa, which today contributes to the formation of an ecological corridor with the Grande Sertão Veredas National Park.
The farm keeps more than 90% of its territory entirely preserved, including 12,000 hectares integrated into the park, ensuring that animal species in a vulnerable situation or even at risk of extinction, such as the Giant Anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla), Maned Wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) and Jaguar (Panthera onca) live free, protected and reproducing.
At Pousada Trijunção, practices with the aim of having a positive impact on territorial development, environment and local economy are implemented on an ongoing basis:
