As the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor continues to grow, the Black Jaguar Foundation has taken the first concrete steps toward developing our ‘2nd Hub of Restoration’ in the Araguaia region. Expanding our long-term restoration presence across the landscape.
Earlier this year, we signed an institutional partnership with the Municipal Secretariat of Environment and Water (SEMMA) of Lagoa da Confusão, in the state of Tocantins (Brazil). The agreement represents an important milestone in strengthening long-term collaboration around ecological restoration and scaling restoration efforts across the region.
The partnerships create the foundation for expanding BJF’s operational presence in Lagoa da Confusão, including plans to establish a new large-scale forest nursery and the infrastructure needed to support restoration activities throughout the surrounding landscape.
This future hub is expected to play an important role in increasing native seedling production capacity, supporting field operations, strengthening local restoration initiatives, and enabling the geographic expansion of restoration efforts within the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor.
Beyond infrastructure, the partnership also reinforces the importance of collaboration between local governments, technical teams, rural landowners, and restoration initiatives working toward shared environmental goals in the Amazon-Cerrado transition region.
As restoration efforts continue to expand, partnerships like this are essential for creating the long-term structure and local support needed to restore ecosystems at scale.
