A Rocha Brazil

A Rocha Brazil is a Christian not-for-profit environmental education and conservation organization.

The "five Cs" (Christian, Conservation, Community, Cross-cultural and Cooperation) are widely used to express what is distinctive about A Rocha Brazil:

1. Christian - Underlying all we do is our biblical faith in the living God, who made the world, loves it and entrusts it to the care of human society;

2. Conservation - We carry out research for the conservation and restoration of the natural world and run environmental education programmes for people of all ages;

3. Community - Through our commitment to God, each other and the wider creation, we aim to develop good relationships both within A Rocha Brazil and in local communities.

4. Cross-Cultural - We draw on the insights and skills of people from diverse cultures, both locally and around the world;

5. Cooperation - We work in partnership with a wide variety of organisations and individuals who share our concerns for a sustainable world.
