Corredor Pau Brasil

The conservation of the Atlantic Forest has a direct and daily impact on the lives of 70% of the Brazilian population who live in areas that are or were once part of its forest. The Mosaic of Protected Areas of the Extreme South of Bahia (MAPES), in which the project is located, is one of the five regions with the greatest biodiversity on the planet. Started in 2021, the project works in southern Bahia in close collaboration with landowners to establish ecological corridors between the Pau Brasil and Monte Pascoal national parks and other conservation areas. The objective is to restore 170 hectares by planting 283,390 native trees to form corridors between forest remnants. Doing so will allow species isolated by deforestation to move around and reproduce, helping to conserve and revitalize the biome and its biodiversity during the process.
