HELP RESTORE THE BALANCE BETWEEN NATURE AND MANKIND With your support, we are realizing the Araguaia Biodiversity corridor. It will be the longest nature corridor on earth spanning 2600km across Brazil, through the Amazon and Cerrado. But to do this, we need you.
WHERE ARE WE NOW? We have been planting trees together since 2017 and we are now entering our fourth planting season. In this planting season we commence the planting of our first million trees, with partners such as Movida Aluguel de Carros and One Tree Planted. This amazing progress has only be made possible with the help of our dedicated community. Now we‘re scaling up and need you more than ever. It‘s time to make a real impact for our planet, and for our future.
THE NEXT MILESTONE... ...the brand new 2021 tree nursery! In the coming years, we will be planting many more trees. Planting seedlings is one of the main methods we use in our restoration and so to grow all these new native trees we are planning to build a state-of-the-art BJF nursery. This will be the third BJF nursery, with a capacity over 10 times that of our second nursery, producing 500,000 seedlings at a time. Together, we can reach this next milestone, preparing us to scale up our reforestation activities in 2021.
