GUARANA, THE TREASURE OF THE SATERE MAWE TRIBE IN BRAZIL's RAINFOREST

Launched on April 21, 2008, in the Bastille neighbourhood office of Fair Trade Dealer GUAYAPI Topical, this pictorial and descriptive work by two young French student-explorers, Bastien Beaufort and Sébastian Wolf,
is an of their journey to the Amazon tribe of the Satere Mawe Indians in Brazil, cultivators of the original warana energizer plant.

By maintaining control of their cultivation and exploitation of the guarana product, the tribe is a model of sustainable development and carries on the work of their ancestors. Deeply rooted in mythology, the activities of the Satere Mawe Indians are conducted in harmony with their sacred environment - the unique 'bank' of Guarana in the world which motivates their preservation of this unique ecosystem. To the point that a request has been lodged for recognition of the enclave as "cultural and ecological sanctuary of Guarana of the Satere Mawe nation."

After a trip through the preparation of the wild plant and transformation into the coffee-like powder substance, sold in Europe and America, but not in Brazil, as a healthy 'booster', the authors focus on the need for this Fair Trade with Guayapi Tropical, a French company headed and founded by Claudie Ravel,to enable the aborigines to maintain a sustainable and decent existence for themselves and their families.Guarana is recognized in their mythology as a powerful force of nature that will deliver mankind from bad health, perpetuate the Satere Mawe Tribe and save humanity in general.
