Our commitment is to offset Greenhouse gases emitted by human activities - from the simple act of drive a car to the most sophisticated industrial process - recovering degraded riparian areas. The trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, as well contribute to the soil, water and the biological diversity conservation.

The trees, during its growth, absorbs carbon from the atmosphere through the photosynthesis process, fixing the carbon in its biomass. The reforestation with native species allow the formation of a long lasting forest structure, ecologically sustainable and environmentally healthy, in a area where previously was a pasture, serving as well, as a vector of dispersion of seeds to the neighboring areas. To reach optimal results, the reforestation process must be planned, considering the area’s native forest structure (number of individuals per hectare, species diversity, etc.) The reforestation of riparian areas absorbs the carbon from the atmosphere, as well supplies a series of local environmental services. The main service is the preservation of the hydro resources, since the riparian forests avoid excessive evaporation and the storage of deposit material in the water courses, serving as a ‘filter’, among other benefits. The recuperation of riparian areas further contributes in a positive way to the maintenance of the biodiversity, since it create green corridors where the species can circulate collaborating to the dispersion and consequent genetic variability of them.
