« Arco Iris » reforestation project, Minas Gerais
Saving the Pedra Talhada forest - which straddled the states of Alagoas and Pernambuco - has been Nordesta‘s priority since 1989, the year of our first vast reforestation operation. Our goal is to bring the forest out of its isolation by connecting it to other small forest massifs.
The banks of the rivers Paraïba and Carangueija, as well as the reservoir they supply (located above the village of Quebrangulo), have been urgently reforested.
