Thanks to the generous donations of our community and business partners, we recently funded planting 5,000 trees in Bananal, Brazil with the help of our on-the-ground project partners at AMOVALE, and countless volunteers who came out to help. …The Atlantic Forest originally covered an area equivalent to 130 million hectares and extended over 17 Brazilian states. Over the last 5 centuries logging, mining, farming, grazing, wildfires and unplanned urbanization had a huge impact on the ecosystem. Today, only 10% of the forest remains in fragmented areas. It is considered a global hotspot as one of the richest areas in biodiversity on the planet, but also one of the most threatened.
