Restoring the Verde Vivo to a diverse and natural forest
We envision the restoration of a long-term livestock pasture into a diverse and natural forest. Regenerating the Verde Vivo will not just return the richness of the Amazon, it will kick-start a reforestation economy that offers green and sustainable jobs, learning, and local opportunities.
Our goal is to use the proceeds from the sale of carbon credits to restore the forest, biodiversity and ecosystem services.
