UNTAMED ANGLING CONCEPT
Untamed Angling is founded on the endorsement and involvement of Pykore and FUNAI, the two representative indigenous associations of the Kayapó Tribe. We have established an honest relationship with native peoples in the Amazon Jungle, which provides a profit share (fee per angler given to the community), as well as jobs for local people. We conjoin with our indigenous partners every year for an annual meeting to review numbers and program results, and to celebrate the year’s successes.
Involving Local Communities
A transparent, equitable partnership with indigenous people who own the land is key to the Kendjam Project. This long-term environmental and social project, which supported the Kayapó Indians of the Iriri River in a sustainable way to develop new productive alternatives for their life while at the same time, protecting their land, culture, and quality of life.
Scientific Biological Research and Wilderness Protection
We cooperate with government fisheries management officials in developing research programs and collection of biological data to further understand the fishery and ecosystems. The data we secure will be used to ensure that our waters, the surrounding ecosystem, and the local people will maintain their vitality and be protected for generations to come.
Environmental Stewardship
We promote and practice sustainable operations through the use of renewable energy, proper waste treatment, recycling, and minimal environmental impact to reduce our footprint. Unlike other tourism enterprises, our destinations purposely accommodate small groups of anglers in an effort to reduce environmental and social impact but keeping high value in each package.
World Class Catch & Release Fishing
We work in a unique clear water environment, perhaps the last untouched river for several jungle species in the Amazon. Our goal is to provide anglers the very best fishing experience in its class. Protecting these waters will keep this fishery healthy for future generations and will help local communities move forward with a sustainable way of life.
Involving Legal authorities
We work very closely and cooperatively with government agencies and local native communities in securing and maintaining the proper permits and licenses. This guarantees the exclusive use and control of Kendjam’s world-class fishery ensuring a sustainable and non-consumptive use of the resource.
First Class Service
Untamed Angling has designed a unique working platform for all its projects: a team formed by a professional and a native guide working together. The pro guide provides specific technical skills and the native guide intensive knowledge of the forest and the fish. The lodge is located in the heart of the reserve and has unique eco buildings with exclusive service and attention.
