The forest that
sustains people.
Conserving the forest means generating work, income and opportunity. Manoa's sustainable management drives Cujubim's economy and invests in education, childhood and culture.
Development that springs from the forest.
Jobs & income
1,100 jobs direct and indirect. About 36% of Cujubim's employed population works in Manoa's chain, which accounts for 33% of the municipality's tax revenue.
Forest education
The CEFLOM, an 850 m² forest education center, brings knowledge about management and the environment to communities, schools and institutions in the region.
Childhood & inclusion
The Raio de Luz and Manoa daycare centers and the APAE of Cujubim benefited +400 children and young people in recent years with education, culture and leisure.
Thinking of people.
Manoa's log production supplies 20 to 24 timber companies in the region each year — 45 to 50 thousand m³ annually — driving Cujubim's economy and generating about 1,100 jobs direct and indirect. Beyond the rights provided by law, the company offers its employees:
Housing, lodging & meals
Housing and meals for those who live the forest routine.
Life insurance
Protection for the employee and their family.
Transport “pick-up and drop-off”
Guaranteed transport between the city and the management area.
Above-average salaries
Compensation above the municipality's average.
Ceviflor — rest and lodging in the forest.
An 850 m² structure amid the forest, designed for the team's rest and togetherness. It's where employees have their meals, catch their breath between field activities, and where staff and visitors can stay overnight in comfort, immersed in the forest Manoa protects.
CEFLOM — Forest Education Center.
It is at CEFLOM that Manoa takes knowledge about management and the environment beyond the forest: the center hosts talks, courses and visits from schools, communities, institutions and clients in the region. Between 2008 and 2017, there were 39 classes and activities that trained 362 people — bringing people of all ages closer to the standing forest.
