We are delighted to share another important milestone in our journey: the results of the first year of our partnership with Rabobank and the renewal of this collaboration for a second phase of growth and transformation across the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor.
Throughout the first year, we invested in the infrastructure, energy supply, and water management of our nursery in Santana do Araguaia (Pará state, Brazil). These improvements have significantly increased our capacity to produce high-quality native seedlings, enabling us to restore larger areas of the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor.
We expanded our field operations while creating greater impact for local communities and invested in camera systems and innovative technologies to monitor biodiversity recovery and further strengthen our ecological restoration monitoring systems.
To see the impact of this partnership firsthand, Thaís Zylbersztajn Fontes, Rabobank’s Senior W&R Sustainability Lead, visited the heart of our operations in Brazil. Watch the video below to hear her reflections on the progress we’ve achieved together.
And this is only the beginning.
With the renewal of our partnership, a new chapter begins. Over the coming months, we will further expand the infrastructure of our first Restoration Hub in Santana do Araguaia. By the end of the year, our nursery will have the capacity to produce 1.2 million native seedlings per planting season.
Rabobank’s philanthropic support will also enable us to expand our operations by developing our second Restoration Hub in Lagoa da Confusão (Tocantins state, Brazil). This new hub will allow us to expand our restoration efforts into new regions of the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor.
The next phase includes site preparation, the construction of a large-scale native tree nursery, the strengthening of our native seed collection network, the establishment of new partnerships with rural landowners, and the launch of the region’s first ecological restoration projects.
Rabobank and the Black Jaguar Foundation share the same vision: the future of agribusiness will be led by landowners who produce in harmony with nature. The long-term 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.
