Will you join us breathe new life into Brazil’s precious mangroves?
In partnership with local communities, we are restoring precious mangrove ecosystems through hands-on habitat restoration, sustainable practices, and meaningful environmental education.
Working closely with four incredible communities — Irirituiua, Boa Vista, Conceição, and Ponta do Suares — locals are leading the effort by collecting propagules, managing nurseries, planting, and monitoring sites using their invaluable traditional knowledge. Fishermen and shellfish gatherers will also receive training in sustainable harvesting practices.
With your support, community-led nurseries can continue growing mangrove propagules and native trees for replanting in degraded areas. Together, we are also helping revive the riparian forests along the Capivara River — improving water quality, stabilizing riverbanks, and reconnecting vital ecological corridors.
As part of this effort, we are piloting the reintroduction of Button Mangroves (𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙥𝙪𝙨 𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙨) alongside innovative erosion-control strategies to protect vulnerable coastal and river ecosystems.
To ease pressure on the mangroves, our “Employ to Restore” methodology introduces agroforestry systems that provide alternative income, fuelwood, and fodder, along with participatory education programs focused on waste management and conservation.
This is more than restoration. It’s about building long-term coastal resilience, protecting biodiversity, and empowering communities to thrive alongside the ecosystems they depend on.
