We were delighted to welcome a special visit from one of our key partners: UBS Optimus Foundation. Patrick Nussbaumer, Director Climate and Environment of UBS Optimus Foundation traveled together with two other high profile individuals to Santana do Araguaia to experience firsthand our ecological restoration and community engagement efforts underway in the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor.
During the visit, Patrick together with Professor Annetje Ottow, previous President of Leiden University and BJF Brazil board member Camila Borba Lefèvre toured our restoration sites and seedling nursery and exchanged experiences with our field team and members of the BJF Araguaia Seed Network (Ressemear). We even had a chance to install wildlife trap cameras in some of our 5-year young restoration sites! It was an inspiring opportunity to witness the positive socio-environmental impact we are creating together in the region.
