Luan is determined to protect the health of people and the planet in the northeastern region of Brazil. With a few like-minded friends, he founded Casa (Social and Environmental Support Center), to address social and environmental issues in their community. Noticing that deforestation and unrestrained CO2 emissions led to poor agricultural production and, ultimately, hunger, Luan and his friends started planting fruit trees so that everyone, especially low-income residents, could access fresh, organic fruit for free. Today, CASA is led by 19 young people who are dedicated to environmental changemaking. Luan became an Ashoka Young Changemaker in 2019.
