The Bauana Research Center will have its own accommodations for scientists and their immediate families. As much as we want to excel in everything we do, those accommodations are certainly comfortable, yet not luxurious. We thought luxury wasn’t a necessary predicament for a non-profit organization funded by the World Bank.

In order to give scientists their well-deserved exposure – and a real chance for their projects to be implemented and replicated worldwide – we thought that the direct contact between them and the world’s policy makers, financiers and money managers, would be extremely beneficial to the cause of reversing the effects of Climate Change. They are, after all, those who decide on whether to implement such solutions or not.

This is how the idea of the luxurious Bauana Resort was born.

The intention is to promote conferences and gatherings on forestry matters, hosting the global “who’s who” on environmental issues. From government authorities and politicians to bankers, financiers, scientists, decision makers, etc. from around the world.

Their proximity to a Preservation and a Reforestation project (Bauana Forestry), an internationally acclaimed forestry Research Center (Bauana Research Center), and a first-hand experience with a REDD+ Sustainability project makes the proposition unique, for the benefit of Climate Change reversal.

We don’t have the pretention to reverse the climate by ourselves, of course, nor single-handedly solve anything related to global warming. However, we’d like to prove to the world’s decision-makers that something important can be done, and we are doing it!

Once they come to the Bauana Project – perhaps attracted by the outstanding amenities of the Resort – and they see by themselves what is possible to be done, maybe… only maybe… we have a chance of them replicating the experience. It’s all that matters.

2. Architecture & Construction

The idea is for the Bauana Resort to create the maximum possible impact – in which case outstanding architecture is mandatory. Therefore, we discarded the popular common wisdom of building rustic cabins on trees, or rudimentary huts replicating indigenous villages.

We follow and appreciate the work in the lines of Marcio Kogan and his Studio MK27. The seamless integration between modern shapes and nature is their trademark, and we think it conveniently fits the Bauana Resort proposition. All pictures you see here are Kogan’s projects.

Even though construction budget is fairly higher, those concrete structures have serious advantages over the alternatives. Among them, lower maintenance and perennial magnificence.

4. Management

The Bauana Resort will be privately owned and managed by one of the most prestigious hotel chains in the world – which brings to the project, aside from their prestige and solid worldwide presence, an outstanding reservations system.
