The challenge
The archipelago near the North Brazilian coast has a stirring history of invasion upon invasion. It served many purposes: from Portuguese, English and French operating bases, rest home for sick Dutch soldiers, satellite tracking center for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), to the current exclusive destination for eco tourists. Vulnerable and extraordinarily beautiful. To be preserved. Forever.

The approach
Environment and tourism in peaceful coexistence. A balance that can only be realized through planning, consultation and the support of the local inhabitants. Drawing up an inventory of the biological, physical, socio-economical and institutional infrastructure as a basis for zoning, environmental programs and redevelopment. Aimed at the blossoming of the archipelago, both ecologically and economically.

The result
A sustainable paradise.
