Veracel Celulose and IPC signed partnership in 2018 when, during the flora and fauna monitoring in the RPPN Estação Veracel (Veracel Station), a jaguar was registered, which had last occurred more than 20 years ago. Since then, the monitoring and conservation project of the jaguar elaborated in RPPN Estação Veracel and in the Pau Brazil National Park, seeks to evaluate the conditions of this forest fragment for the conservation of an animal this size. Until the present moment, the results have shown the occurrence of many mammal species, which reinforces the importance of these two forested areas for the Atlantic rainforest conservation in the region of Porto Seguro-BA.

CENAP works in association with IPC since 1996. The research results developed by IPC contribute to the elaboration of public policies in the conservation of carnivorous mammals from Brazilian fauna. CENAP is an important collaborator for us.

Specialized in high-quality nutrition for pet animals, PremieRpet supports IPC ever since its founding in the development of activities, for we believe that research and environmental education are essential to generate innovative knowledge and to promote adequate coexistence among men and animals.
