Iracambi Forest Futures: Adopt A Plot - Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest Conservation

The people of Iracambi share a vision: To recreate Brazils Atlantic Rainforest, one of the world's richest areas of biodiversity, teaming with rare animals and plants, many found nowhere else on earth.

PROBLEM: The Atlantic Rainforest once covered one million square kilometers, but today in the state of Minas Gerais only 3% remains. Every day that goes by sees the forest diminishing. If we do nothing, thousands of species of plants and animals will continue to disappear, never to return. Those that remain are confined to ever- decreasing fragments of forest. Ranked by the United Nations as one of the most globally important forests its conservation is in a critical condition and of the highest priority.

The Forest Futures program aims to reverse the trend of the retreating forest, and actually extend the local forest boundaries, linking isolated areas of forest through corridors. When you invest in forest futures, Amigos de Iracambi will buy a plot of degraded land. This land is bought on a willing seller basis. Selling pieces of land that are unsuitable for agricultural use allows the farmer to use capital which is otherwise tied up in an unproductive asset and from our perspective this scheme ensures protection of critically threatened forest. You can be assured your purchase will make a difference to the rainforest.

Anybody can buy a forest future for as little as $50 / GBP 35 . Fifty per cent of your investment will go on the purchase price, and the remainder will cover reforestation, land maintenance, legal fees and continued research into better ways of recreating the rainforest.
