Rainforest month!

By Binka Le Breton | International Relations Coordinator

World Rainforest Day

Dear wonderful supporters,

June is shaping up to be a big month for rainforests, as we celebrate both World Environment Day and World Rainforest Month! Each of these is an opportunity for us to raise awareness about the critical importance of environmental conservation and restoration, and to celebrate our colleagues across the world who are working hard to protect their respective corners of the planet!

As you know, rainforest restoration is our principal goal here at Iracambi, and with your help we're going all out to restore and protect the wonderful ecosystem in which we live.

And here's the thing. There's a lot more to rainforest restoration than planting trees! And, talking about forest restoration, if we're going to hit our goal of planting and caring for a million trees by the end of the decade, we're going to need all hands on deck to help out! That's why we work with local schoolchildren, helping them discover the magic of the forest, and equipping them to become environmental defenders.

This past week a group of our Eco Leaders appeared at a local council meeting to talk about the environmental situation in our county. These young people are willing and able to contribute towards creating the brand new county development plan, and they understand the need for all sectors of society to study the issues and become active participants in shaping the future. And, as future leaders, they are determined to ensure that their voices and ideas are heard and respected. It's exciting to see them stepping up!

So once again we'd like to send you a heartfelt thank you for your support We'd love to be able to welcome you at Iracambi and show you the beautiful new forests that you have helped us plant. But, since that's not so easy for most of you, we're going to publish a video about our work to mark World Rainforest Day on June 21st and we'll share the link with you so you can see for yourselves how together we're Saving Forests and Changing Lives.

Thank you for being with us on this exciting journey!

with love from

The beautiful countryside being restored!

Dear friends,

We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude for your generous support towards our ongoing efforts to restore and protect the precious Atlantic Rainforest in Minas Gerais.

As you may know, June marked the celebration of World Rainforest Day, a global initiative to raise awareness and highlight the significance of rainforests in our ecosystem. It served as a timely reminder of the urgent need for conservation and sustainable practices to preserve these vital habitats for future generations.

Through our collective endeavors, we have witnessed significant progress in restoring the native vegetation, protecting the diverse flora and fauna, and promoting ecological balance within the region. This would not have been possible without the unwavering support of dedicated donors like yourself, who share our vision for a sustainable and thriving ecosystem.

At Iracambi, we are committed to fostering long-term environmental stewardship and creating a positive impact on the local communities. We firmly believe that by working together, we can continue to make a tangible difference in preserving the Atlantic Rainforest and its invaluable biodiversity.

Your continued support and partnership have been instrumental in driving our initiatives forward. We are immensely grateful for your trust and belief in our mission. As we move forward, we assure you that your contributions will be utilized efficiently and effectively to maximize the impact of our reforestation projects.

Once again, we extend our heartfelt appreciation for your generosity and commitment to the cause. We would be delighted to provide you with further updates on our progress and share stories of the positive changes we are creating together. Your support is truly making a lasting impact on the Atlantic Rainforest and the communities it sustains.

Together, we are making a difference in the preservation of this invaluable ecosystem.

With deepest gratitude,

Empowering Conservation: Transformative Research Unveils Forest-Animal Dynamics

By Juliana Mendes | Comunication Coordinator

Filming our researcher speaking about the research

Dear Donor,

We would like to express our deep gratitude for your donation to the program. Your generosity has been essential in driving our efforts to conserve and restore forests.

We thrilled to share some exciting news with you. We are honored to have the presence of an incredible researcher who is currently studying in Italy, at the University of Bologna. She is conducting a groundbreaking study within the breathtaking landscape that we have nearby Iracambi, focusing on the incidence and presence of various animals in different types of forests: primary forests, natural regeneration forests, and planted forests.

This exploratory study holds tremendous importance in understanding the interaction between animals and different forest ecosystems. The researcher is conducting meticulous observations, collecting valuable data on biodiversity, and analyzing the impacts of distinct forest conditions on animal presence and behavior.

In just one month, she will conclude this pioneering research, which will open many doors for us. The results of this study will allow us to better understand the importance of conserving native forests, the process of natural regeneration, and the benefits of planted forests. These findings will serve as a crucial guide to shape our future actions in restoration and conservation.

All of this is made possible thanks to your ongoing support and generosity. Your donation has a direct impact on our work, enabling us to conduct cutting-edge research and implement effective actions in forest protection. Your commitment to our cause is an inspiration to everyone involved in the Forests for Water program.

We look forward to sharing the results of this study with you soon. Once again, thank you for your generosity and belief in our mission. Together, we can create a more sustainable future and preserve the natural treasures for future generations.

With gratitude,

The Iracambi team
