The term “local communities” references both Brazilian citizens living in and around the forest, as well as Indigenous populations on the land. Directly or indirectly, each of the activities that Nemus implements will have a positive impact on these local communities, as people find new means to work, generate income and/or improve their quality of life. As Nemus matures, these local communities will be able to directly connect through commerce with other participants in the ecosystem using the native NEA token.
