We were at COP 30 in Belém experiencing intense days of exchanges, learning, and meaningful connections that further strengthened our mission to conserve biodiversity and promote sustainable ecotourism in Brazil.

In partnership with Isa Energia, we took part in the dinner “Connections that Inspire” celebrating the power of partnerships and friendships that drive biodiversity protection and generate positive impact. We also attended the Jaguar Parade launch cocktail, the lecture “From Observation to Preservation” held by the Ministry of Tourism, and the panel “The Pantanal Resists.” 
The panel was featured in Folha de S.Paulo’s special COP 30 edition of Papo de Responsa, moderated by Eliane Trindade with the guests Marcella Monteiro de Barros Coelho (Movimento União BR) and Gustavo Figueirîa (Instituto SOS Pantanal).
 
COP 30 was an opportunity to further increase visibility of Onçafari’s work, reconnect with friends and partners, and create new connections that will help us continue advancing wildlife conservation.

Since October, jaguar sculptures have brought color to Belém during COP 30 transforming the city into an open air art gallery.

The initiative includes an online charity auction of the sculptures held from November 12 to December 1 with bids starting at R$5,000 via iArremate. The funds raised will be donated to institutions dedicated to conserving Brazilian biodiversity, including Onçafari. Check out which sculptures benefit Onçafari

The presence of the Jaguar Parade at COP 30 during the month of November  during which International Jaguar Day is celebrated reinforces the importance of conserving the species in Brazil, especially in the Amazon, and broadens this dialogue with the public through art.

On International Jaguar Day, we celebrate the feline that has inspired our mission from the very beginning. The jaguar is the guardian of Brazil’s biomes as an apex predator essential to ecological balance and a symbol of biodiversity of the Americas.

It all began with Esperança, our first habituated jaguar. She allowed the first close observations, taught us how to watch without interfering, and showed us that responsible ecotourism could be a powerful conservation tool. From her came new stories, new generations, and a deeper understanding of the species.

To ensure that stories like Esperança’s continue, we also celebrate Giving Tuesday, inviting everyone to support actions that secure the jaguar’s future.

Being recognized among the Best NGOs in Brazil is a cause for great celebration for all of us. The award highlights organizations that excel in management, transparency, sustainability, and governance.

Organized by the Social Certification Platform (Instituto Doar) since 2017, the Best NGOs Award evaluates five major areas: cause and strategy of action, representation and responsibility, management and planning, funding strategy, and communication and accountability.

The award recognizes social initiatives aligned with positive societal transformation and is supported by partners such as Ambev, who help strengthen and expand its reach.

Being among the top 100, in a universe of more than 800,000 NGOs in the country, reinforces the value of our 14-year commitment to biodiversity conservation.
