Forests4Water Brazil: Community Climate Action

Dear forestry friends!

Recently, Iracambi partnered with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to restore 5 hectares of land in the Atlantic Forest region. The project aims to plant thousands of native tree species, restore degraded areas, and create corridors for wildlife movement.

To monitor the reforestation progress, Iracambi is using drones to film the area. The footage captured by the drones is then analyzed to track the growth of trees, identify areas that require further attention, and assess the impact of the project on the local environment. The use of drones allows for efficient monitoring and helps the team make informed decisions about the reforestation process.

The successful restoration of 5 hectares of land is just the beginning of the project, as Iracambi plans to restore more land in the future. The partnership with TNC has been a crucial step towards achieving this goal, and the use of technology such as drones is making the process more effective and sustainable. With continued efforts, Iracambi hopes to contribute towards a greener and healthier planet for all.

We keep counting on you all to help us throught it as well!

Keep safe!

Dear fellow environmentalists,

First of all, we want to thank you for your support to our forestry program. Together we really are making a difference! 

As the March rains bring our summer to a close, we have completed our 2023-22 tree planting goal of 55,000 trees. And we couldn’t have done it without your support, and the hard work of our team. We’re really excited to have hit our target, and it’s an important contribution towards the conservation of biodiversity in our region.  

And here’s some more exciting news for you:

After years of downgrading the public sector and weakening environmental policies during the previous administration, the new Lula government is committed to rebuilding sound climate policies! The goal is to achieve net zero deforestation by 2030, not only in the Amazon but across all the biomes in Brazil.

As a megadiversity country, Brazil has a special responsibility to protect its extraordinary biodiversity, and we at Iracambi will be doing what we can, not only to play our part, but also to hold the government accountable for delivering on its promises.

Let's see where that leads us!

Dear friend,

We hope you are doing well, and would like to thank you very much for your help!

We're here to tell you a little more about what happened during January. We’re almost done with the planting season but our team doesn't stop!

Behind the scenes, a lot happened. There were many adventures: with the heavy  rains (which are great for plants, but tough  for humans), there were floods, and stuck truckswhich needed to be rescued by tractors, but everybody helped out to get the job done. . And as our goal is very big (35,000 trees), we really needed people who don’t mind getting their hands dirty! .

We need every available vehicle to get these seedlings up to the steep slopes to the planting sites and sometimes even the Land Rover couldn’t make it and we had to use donkeys! .

Despite the difficulties, it’s always fun, and i's amazing what we can do when we come together.

So thank you for being part of it! 

Lots of rainy rainforest hugs,

The Iracambi team.

Dear friend!

Cheers to another year! We are wishing all the wonderful thing to you and your loved ones on the new year.

To start off 2023 on the right foot, we want to take a moment to say a big thank you for supporting us to restore the beautiful Atlantic Rainforest.

Your support makes it possible for us to spend our daysrolling up our sleeves, collecting the seeds, taking care of the seedlings, nurturing them as they grow and then planting them out. We can't think of a better way to spend our time!

And this year, we're dreaming higher than ever and aiming to plant 125,000 trees in 2023-24 and together we're going to make it happen, because of supporters like you, who are important members of our team, and deserve a huge thank you for making a difference in the world!

We wish you all a year full of happiness, fun, and success.

With gratitude,

The Iracambi Team
