Massive regreening in Brazil, Australia and Italy
Ecosystem Restoration Communities
Ecosystem Restoration Communities are repairing the earth by bringing people together to restore degraded ecosystems.
Camp Sinal do Vale?is restoring degraded land in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil that was once coffee plantations and cattle pastures. Sinal do Vale has been able to plant more than 41,000 native trees on these steep slopes, thanks to grants from One Tree Planted facilitated by ERC, and other partners. While some seedlings were grown in Sinal's own tree nursery, most were purchased from a local, women-led network of native tree nurseries that seek to promote flora and fauna in this highly threatened biodiversity hotspot.
Over the past couple of months?Reforest Now?in Northern New South Wales, Australia, has been planting thousands (literally) of trees to restore subtropical rainforest. And they've just reached a rather impressive milestone of 400,000 trees planted in the region, with no plans of stopping anytime soon!
It's also tree planting season in?Rocciaviva?in Matera, Italy, where Piero and the team are on a mission to get native species in the ground before the end of November.
So much hopeful work is being done, across the globe. Thanks for sharing, otherwise we would only hear the doom and gloom.
