Why Jataí?
The name "Jataí" is a tribute to the native Brazilian bee Tetragonisca angustula, an important pollinator and symbol of collective organization. Sensitive to environmental degradation, Jataí bees are also indicators of ecosystem health. Like them, the Institute believes in the power of networks to drive sustainable transformation.
