The building of the first nursery has begun

By News Home

Now that the Mapping and the Biodiversity Planning phase of our Pilot project has been completed, the building of our first nursery has begun. In close partnership with the large farm Santa Fé, located in the heart of the Corridor, everything has been set in motion to finalize the construction of the first nursery later this month.

The owners of this 57,000 ha farm, are very driven to partner with us and make the nursery a success with the main goal to restore the degraded areas on their farm and of neighboring farms to their natural state.

Seedlings of ‘pioneer trees’ will be grown and planted first, as they will provide shade for ‘secondary trees’ to flourish hereafter.

We are keen to update you on these exciting developments!

Help us reach our next goal

By News Home

Help us reach our next intermediate goal as part of our Pilot project: hiring our first forest engineer and building the first nurseries in 2018, and consequently planting the first 1 million native trees in 2019 in the heart of the Araguaia Corridor.

We have a deadline to start planting the trees before the rain-season starts in October this year.

Natural conditions are essential for the effectiveness of our first nurseries. Tocantins has a dry and tropical climate. The wet season, from October to April, is oppressive and overcast, while the dry season, from May to September, is very warm and clear. The trees must be planted in the winter, during the dry season just before the rain season begins. Otherwise, the seedlings won’t survive the long dry season in winter. 

It means we depend on your financial support, in this period of the year more than ever. Thank you for your valuable support in advance. Just click on GET INVOLVED and select your sponsor-benefit package and become 1 of The First 600! Thank you once more.

Why we really need you?

By News Home

Thanks to your dedication and support, 2018 marks the end of the many years of our Preparation phase during which we had the first cases of success on all fronts. Now we can finally enter the Fundraising & Implementation phase!

During the preparation phase, we built a healthy base for our foundation and our team grew to include over 140 professional volunteers from 14 different countries. We have been the fortunate recipients of free talent, free goods and free services from companies across five continents.

However, we’ve also learned that it takes more than sponsored goods and free services to plant a single tree – let alone millions of them. To be able to start planting trees and carrying out the mapping of the Corridor Zone’s 10.4 million hectares of land, your financial support is more vital than ever before!
