Synapsis maintains a constant ecological concern in its intentions. From the dissemination of good practices to prototyping imagination, our community is always ready to work in this direction.
As environmentalists we consider important to emphasize our view of nature as part and extension of ourselves. However, we understand that the natural evolution always overcome human interventions when the latter is processed in a petty and limited way. Synapsis brings an invitation to reflection over the possibilities of symbiosis, rather than the imposition of only rational and mercantile territorial occupations.
