THE CARAPANA PROJECT
Improving more lives thanks to You and Chacrona
As more and more amazing people wear our Chacrona, we can commit even further in preserving the Amazon rainforest and its true guardians, the local tribes. Since March 2021 we’ve been working with Guardianes de Vida, to improve the lives of the indigenous tribes of Carapana.
