Flavor of Memory | Dona Nena & Cacao of the Amazon
Who knew that tucked away on Ilha do Combú in Belém, down one of the Amazon’s winding rivers, you’d find a chocolate factory? For Dona Nena, chocolate is more than a sweet treat — it’s the story of her Brazilian riverside community, her family, and her land. But climate change threatens the very rivers and soils that sustain them.
In our next Defenders of the Forest episode, Dona Nena shares the story behind her work — reminding us that protecting the Amazon isn’t only about safeguarding our planet’s future, but also honoring and preserving what past generations have built.
