Cobra Canoa

Non-profit

Alto Paraíso, Brazil

At Cobra Canoa, we spearhead a intercultural movement through radical collaboration initiatives. Our mission is to champion unity among cultures and fortify the autonomy of traditional and local communities, fostering the well-being of their people, and igniting cross-cultural unity. We are the catalysts for profound regeneration, built on the bedrock of empowering Indigenous peoples, honoring their ways of living, preserving traditions, and embracing their invaluable knowledge. We envision a world that not only recognizes but deeply values and operates from the principles of unity, diversity, and sustainable coexistence with Mother Earth. The Cobra Canoa Framework is a bold, innovative approach to systemic investments, aimed at supporting Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities in regenerating ecosystems, preserving biodiversity, and fostering sustainable development. The framework provides a holistic and decentralized financial model that empowers communities, promotes environmental stewardship, and aligns global resources with local, regenerative initiatives. At its core, the Cobra Canoa Framework is built around three interconnected pillars: the 5 Shared Principles, Bioregional Funds, and a Planetary Well-Being Task Force.
