We’ve been selected by Conservation International to support the restoration of 150 hectares on small-scale properties in Pará

Good news is coming to Pará! The Black Jaguar Foundation was one of the organizations chosen by Conservation International (CI-Brazil) to implement the project “Forest for Well-being.” The goal is to restore 150 hectares on small rural properties over the next two rainy seasons. 

Unlike other projects we have carried out, this one has a special focus: directly supporting producers of smaller areas — up to 4 fiscal modules — so they can lead the restoration on their own land. This makes the process more local, participatory, and connected to the daily life of those living in rural areas. 

With technical and financial support from CI and the Amazon Fund/BNDES, we will be able to test and apply new restoration methods such as assisted natural regeneration and agroforestry systems. The idea is to go beyond environmental recovery: also generate social and economic benefits and strengthen the involved communities. 

This opportunity came through a public call, which supports restoration projects focused on social inclusion, local protagonism, and solutions that truly make sense for those on the front lines. 

As Conservation International itself highlighted: “These initiatives implement nature-based solutions, focusing on community leadership and large-scale restoration of the Amazon biome.” 

We are excited about this new challenge and the chance to work even closer to the people, the countryside, and the forest!

Consolidated results of the 2024/2025 planting season

By Invisible on news page

The results of the 2024/2025 planting season are in – and they bring great news! 

We’ve made significant progress in the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor, with over 200 hectares restored and 25 km of watercourses protected. Since the project’s inception, more than 1.2 million trees have been planted in the Corridor! 

Our work across 12 farms along the corridor has been key to expanding our impact. Thousands of native trees have been planted, respecting local biodiversity and strengthening the reconnection between the Cerrado and Amazon biomes.

This season has also brought benefits for people: over 70 jobs were created, both directly and indirectly, boosting the local economy and promoting sustainable development. 

Together, we are making a difference! Every tree planted and every action taken is an important step for the future.

Have a look at the incredible growth of our trees!

By Invisible on news page

Two years ago, we planted many native trees, of only 30 cm in height. Now, many of these trees have grown to over four meters high!

We have also been finding regenerating species that were not planted by us, which is one of the best signs that our ecological restoration efforts are working. None of this would have been possible without all of the support we receive from our wonderful sponsor partners. Thank you for your commitment to realising the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor.  Below, please see a video message from our initiator Ben Valks, straight from the field!

These healthy and resilient trees, growing at the heart of the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor, are only the start. It motivates us to see how far our restoration efforts have come, and we look forward to planting many more trees!
