Restoring Brazil's Atlantic Forest
Organization information
WeForest
Location: Overijse, Belgium
Summary
The Atlantic forest is one of the most biodiverse spots in the world yet deforestation has caused it to lose 80% of its original forest cover, and with it the loss of many native species. WeForest, with partners IPE and AES Brasil, is reversing deforestation & biodiversity loss. Trees are planted and grown to create forest corridors and protect the Tiete river watershed, allowing species to find new habitats and populations. These trees will sequester large amounts of CO2 helping climate change
