The challenge
Every year, graduate students in Ecology at UFMT spend weeks at ONF Brasil's Fazenda São Nicolau doing field research. The results were scattered. ONF and the university wanted to gather one class's work in a book, with scientific rigor and a presentation that would do justice to the place and the students' effort.
What we did
What we delivered
- Graphic design and cover
- Layout of about 30 field studies
- Maps of the study area
- Photographs
- Print files and PDF for the web
- Course certificates
We created the graphic design and laid out the volume, which brings together about 30 studies on streams, fish, ants, beetles, amphibians, birds and the effect of teak reforestation and cattle on the forest.
We standardized charts, tables and maps of the study area and opened the book with photographs of the farm taken by Forest. We delivered print and online reading versions, as well as the course certificates.

“We realize that society as a whole is what really gains from a product like this.”
Outcome
ONF Brasil published the book in 2015, in partnership with UFMT, bringing to the public one of the longest-running field research programs in the southern Amazon.
