Located in the heart of the Amazonian Forest in French Guiana, AMAKABA is a space where the wisdom of the earth, the body, and the sky converge. Through agroforestry, environmental education, and cultural practices, AMAKABA honours traditional Afro-Amazonian knowledge while building bridges with scientific approaches. By growing healthy food, promoting sustainable lifestyles, and nurturing collective awareness, the centre fosters community around the shared goal of forest preservation. Art, movement, and ritual are core tools in their mission to protect biodiversity and strengthen the relationship between people and nature.

This project is a part of the Creativity Pioneers Fund, funded in partnership between Healthy Food Healthy Planet and Moleskine Foundation.
