Team members from De Heus Brazil experienced the transformative impact of Black Jaguar Foundation’s ecological restoration project during another visit to the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor. They witnessed every stage of the restoration process up close—from seed collection to seedling planting.
During the visit, participants closely followed the stages of the restoration process, from seed collection to planting seedlings in regenerating areas. They also got a deeper understanding of the work of Ressemear – the Araguaia Seed Network – which connects local communities with the purpose of restoring nature.
“It was an inspiring experience. Stepping on the soil that is being regenerated, planting our own trees, and seeing the concrete impact of the work we support is something that deeply touches you,” said Guilherme Cerqueira, Sustainability Manager at De Heus Brazil.
“I returned with a full heart and an expanded mind. Seeing the regenerated areas up close and hearing the stories from nursery workers and seed collectors fills us with even more pride to be part of De Heus,” added Daniel Souza, Plant Manager at the Guararapes Unit.
Carol Sacramento from the Black Jaguar Foundation emphasized the importance of partnerships for the regeneration of Brazil’s biomes:
“When companies, communities, and organizations work together, we can create a strong restoration chain that generates social, environmental, and economic impact.”
