Fazenda Serra Morena has partnered with the Black Jaguar Foundation. Owner Cesar Gonzaga approached the BJF Team to ask for our help in preserving his property.
Fazenda Santa Fé was one of the first-ever farmers to partner with the Black Jaguar Foundation. Taking a leap of faith because they felt passionate about restoring nature and committing to our huge reforestation mission.
