The Atlantic Forest is a global biodiversity hotspot, but it is also home to large metropolitan regions with intense pressure on their natural resources. This scenario makes their ecosystems highly vulnerable to degradation and collapse.
Brazilian legislation requires the recovery of degraded areas, guided by conservation and climate principles. To support this agenda, the project develops training courses aimed at different audiences – especially rural landowners and local agents – capable of driving changes and multiplying the knowledge acquired.
Participants learn to apply ecological restoration techniques and to carry out ecological-economic evaluations of the restored areas. The project also seeks to create synergies with global goals and involve the private sector in long-term partnerships for sustainability.
