Assunção factory works together with IBAMA, the Brazilian Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, on a reintroduction project for wild animals that have been illegally removed from their natural habitat. Sr. Tavares, the factory owner, chose to enter into this partnership because, he says, “you no longer see canaries, woodpeckers, among other animals native to the Caatinga. There are none of these species left because people are hunting them”.
Assunção has helped change this regional problem – the ceramic factory’s farm has ten aviaries for rescued wild birds. After examination, the animals are put in quarantine to identify possible diseases. Following this screening, the animals are released into the factory’s farmland of approximately 140 hectares. In this way, Assunção factory’s efforts are having a positive impact on the biodiversity of the Caatinga biome.
