Reforesting the Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil
Organization information
Instituto Sinal do Vale
Location: Duque de Caxias, Brazil
Summary
The Atlantic Rainforest is endangered, with only at 12% forest cover left. Its importance is critical as the source of fresh water for 70% of the Brazilian population, and as one of the 6 biodiversity hotspots of the world. Intense cattle ranching and urban development are putting extreme pressure on the forest and its resources. SINAL is working to protect and restore degraded areas of the forest, particularly hilltops and freshwater springs. With your help, we can bring back the rainforest!
