Location

Brazil

The growth of the agriculture industry is the main cause of deforestation in Brazil. Intensive farming techniques cause the soil to quickly wear down, escalate greenhouse gas emissions, and threaten the protection of traditional groups, indigenous people, and Quilombola communities. By reforesting nearly 30,000 hectares (115 sq. miles, 300 sq. kilometers) in the Amazon, the Cerrado, and along the coast we are helping restore ecosystems while creating financial opportunities for surrounding communities.

Registry

How we started

We began scouting project sites and recruiting local leaders in 2021. By working directly with traditional groups, indigenous people, Quilombola communities, and local governments, we are restoring Brazil's forests and creating financial opportunities for nearby communities, beginning in the Amazon, Cerrado, and coastal mangrove habitats. Today, our teams have planted millions of native trees, helping conserve and protect indigenous lands.
