Forest Futures

Help us regenerate the rainforest

Iracambi’s mandate is saving forests, changing lives. We’ve started by conserving sections of Brazil’s Atlantic Rainforest, one of the world’s richest areas of biodiversity, teeming with rare animals and plants many of which are found nowhere else on earth. With fragile soils and steep slopes, the land is quickly eroded and every year farmers need to clear more forest to make their agriculture viable.

Iracambi is researching, testing and campaigning for ways to make the forest conservation provide an income for landowners, but the reality is that it is complicated and will take years to implement on a large scale. In the meantime, we are also buying unused forest land, and land adjoining forest fragments, to reforest and protect.These are our Forest Futures.
