We are excited to share with you that Rabobank has joined Black Jaguar Foundation as philanthropic partner in our mission to realize the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor— the world’s longest biodiversity corridor.
Watch the video of Thaís Zylbersztajn Fontes, Rabobank’s Head of Sustainability for Agribusiness, already impressed by the first results of our partnership on the ground:
The partnership and donations from Rabobank will help us to scale our impact, making true infrastructural progress in restoring biodiversity and empowering local communities. Examples include:
- Improving the infrastructure and capacity of our seedling nursery;
- Creating green jobs in local communities;
- Expanding partnerships with local farmers;
- Utilizing new technologies in ecological restoration in Brazil;
- Improving and expanding our organization structure.
In addition, the donation will enable us to expand our operations in the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor by developing our second Hub of Restoration.
The long-term partnership was signed end of last year and already now, September ’25, we are able to see the first measurable positive impacts in the field from their support.. and this is just the start!

The collaboration is built on a shared recognition of the urgent need for ecosystem restoration and a belief in the power of collective action to drive impact in line with our long-term goals. We keep on working hard and are proud to share this milestone with you.
