EXPLORE ON GFWOur planting project in the Atlantic Forest is part of a larger project to restore more than 15 million hectares of forest by 2050 (an area larger than Greece).
To accomplish this goal, more than 260 organizations joined forces in 2009, including governments, non-profits, private companies, and research institutions. These organizations have come together to tackle some of the biggest problems the Atlantic Forest faces. Beyond planting trees and restoring land they are conducting research, developing tools and technology to monitor the forest, and producing public policy to make sure the forest is protected well into the future.
Dig deeper into what we're doing in Brazil.
The Atlantic Forest is home to some 20,000 species of plant and some 2,000 animal species. Planting trees here helps restore one of the top five priority conservation areas in the world!
Our partners work with private land owners to promote sustainable land management. Planting trees gives land owners an incentive to protect the forest for years to come.
Planting trees in this region helps to restore critical watersheds to help provide clean air and water to the more than 120 million people who now live in and around the Atlantic Forest.
