The Amazon Jungle comes alive in the Concrete Jungle - The Brazilian Amazon meets the Big Apple in three-month, citywide event

New York, NY, 2008 – This spring, lush green trees from the banks of the Amazon River will flourish alongside the Hudson River; shamans may be seen on the subway; and third and sixth grade students will be transported to the heart of the rainforests without leaving their classrooms. Amazônia Brasil, a citywide event of exhibits and workshops that seeks to bring models of sustainable living from the Amazon and present a contemporary vision of the region, will take place from April 17 to July 13, its creators and presenters the Health and Happiness Project, the Amazon Working Group and Fare Arte have announced.

Created by the Projeto Saúde e Alegria (Health and Happiness Project), Amazônia Brasil is the culmination of extensive research and collaborations with more than 600 organizations. More than 500,000 people visited the Amazônia Brasil exhibit in France, Switzerland and Brazil since the project began in 2002. After its New York City tour, the exhibit will go to Tokyo, Monaco and the Netherlands.

Health and Happiness Project (Projeto Saúde e Alegria) and Amazon Working Group (Grupo de Trabalho Amazônico) are International Service partners.
