Join us in planting 50,000 Pernambuco (brazilwood) saplings, helping to regenerate the Atlantic Forest! String players rely on the unique resonance of Pernambuco wood, which has been used to make bows since the 1700s. Deforestation in the Atlantic Forest has wreaked havoc on these trees, with 93% of the forest decimated and fewer than 2,000 Pernambuco trees left in the wild. The Atlantic Forest in Brazil is one of the most bio-diverse ecosystems on the planet. It is home to more than 20,000 species of plants and animal species unique to this forest, including endangered jaguars, golden lion tamarins, woolly spider monkeys, maned three-toed sloths and red-tailed parrots. But this unique and irreplaceable biome is at risk of permanent extinction. We are reconnecting with the forests that have sustained music, at a time when they desperately need our protection. Trees of Music aims to reverse the damage wreaked on the forest by regenerating and reforesting and connecting with local communities. Donate here -
