The “lungs of the earth” are suffering from the consequences of illegal deforestation. This destruction causes a considerable ecological imbalance. This is precisely where the project comes in: To revive the deforested areas through targeted reforestation and thus restore the ecological balance.
The Amazon region is of inestimable ecological value and urgently needs to be protected. Rio Terra has dedicated itself entirely to reforestation. The efforts of this project are crucial to preserve biodiversity and create a place for the unique Amazon fauna. In addition, reforestation contributes to carbon sequestration and is done in accordance with the Brazilian Forest Code.
We travel to an important region of the Brazilian Amazon, the state of Rondônia. Here, a crucial reforestation mission is unfolding to revitalize local and global ecosystems. In the 1990s, only 2% of the forests in Rondônia had been cut down. Today, the destroyed area is 28.5% – the highest rate of all Amazonian states. This is precisely where Rio Terra comes in to bring about change.
