Concept
Untamed Angling, like they did with Tsimane and Marié River, applied their famous concept of partnering with indigenous Communities and their Associations when they established a long term Project with Kayapo Tribes and their representative Indigenous Association - AFP – Protected Forest Association and FUNAI (National indigenous Foundation). This project's purpose is to create a sustainable way to develop new productive alternatives for their life while at the same time, protecting their land and culture and improving their quality of life quality.
Untamed Angling destinations in Brazilian Amazon are the only exclusive fly-fishing only projects allowed and supported by Brazilian Government.Environmental Officials and FUNAI worked together with the indigenous Association to create these very first official sportfishing operations in Brazil located inside an indigenous indigenous Territory.
For the first time, the Brazilian government has collaborated with local Native Communities to both protect the interests of the indigenous natives while simultaneously creating an angling preserve by establishing a “fly-fishing only” catch-and-release fishery. This unique and forward-thinking concept mirrors the business plan of Untamed Angling, who previously implemented the formula on their now world-renowned Tsimane Lodge in Bolivia and Marié River in Brazil. Their success and refined strategies have now been duplicated and implemented by the Brazilian Government on the vast Kayapó land and Iriri river basin.
The concept addresses 7 critical components:
1. Involvement of indigenous locals
2. Environmental stewardship and sustainability
3. Scientific biological research
4. Wilderness protection
5. Legal authority, endorsement and permits
6. First-class service & World-class fishing With the implementation of this concept, it should guarantee not only an exclusive and world-class fishery well into the future, but the protection of a priceless rain forest, and amazing cultural adventure for visitors, as well.
