Four fronts, one forest
Monitoring, education, science and local economy — each front sustains the others to keep the Atlantic Forest standing.
The forest under our eyes
Camera traps spread across the forest identify and monitor native and endemic animals. In 8 months, we recorded animals from 9 taxonomic orders — and the data shape our conservation strategies.
The cameras also protect: they have recorded poachers and illegal loggers, and the footage supports legal action under the Native Vegetation Protection Law (Law No. 12.651/2012).

With six neighboring landowners, we monitor wildlife together and develop strategies against fragmentation — aiming to extend the corridor to the border with Paraná.
Ancestral knowledge, living practice
Workshops, immersive experiences and seminars to preserve and spread sustainable practices: permaculture, bio-construction, wild edible plants, food preservation and Indigenous knowledge of water bodies.
Managing water sources according to Indigenous knowledge.
Birdwatching with Miguel Magro and Paulo Mascaretti.
Natural fermentation, with a sourdough bread tasting.
Nature nurtures children
In partnership with São Paulo schools, students spend a day of educational immersion in the Atlantic Forest — flora, fauna, art and critical thinking, away from screens and close to the forest.
"In the end we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we are taught." — Baba Dioum, 1968
Native trees, plants and fruits seen in their habitat.
Native and endemic species, their habits and relationships.
Drawing and painting what they saw, consolidating learning.
Activities to explore situations and form their own opinion.
Investigate and understand biodiversity
Rigorous scientific research to investigate and confirm native knowledge; characterization of trees, fruits, fungi, insects and microorganisms; data-driven conservation strategies. We seek ecologists and field scientists.
A virtuous circle between farm and forest
50 to 80 organic products a week, from family farms in Juquitiba to the west side of São Paulo. Every purchase helps small producers and funds the conservation of the forest and its springs.
