Forest Futures

Help us regenerate the rainforest

Iracambi's mandate is saving forests, changing lives. We've started by conserving sections of Brazil's Atlantic Rainforest, one of the world's richest areas of biodiversity, teeming with rare animals and plants many of which are found nowhere else on earth. With fragile soils and steep slopes, the land is quickly eroded and every year farmers need to clear more forest to make their agriculture viable.

Iracambi is researching, testing and campaigning for ways to make the forest conservation provide an income for landowners, but the reality is that it is complicated and will take years to implement on a large scale. In the meantime, we are also buying unused forest land, and land adjoining forest fragments, to reforest and protect.These are our Forest Futures.

Forest Futures create a safe haven for endangered wildlife while creating forest corridors for animals and birds to travel safely between forest patches, maintaining and enhancing the health of the forest. With protection from animals and agriculture, the forest regenerates, transforming a forest future into a future forest.

Here's how you can help

You can help us transform neglected and marginalized land into a future forest, simply by adopting a Forest Future. Once the land is fenced, the forest will naturally regenerate. Adopt a Forest Future for as little as US $50 or GB £35. Fifty per cent of your investment will go on the purchase price, and the remainder will cover land and forest maintenance, legal fees and continued research into better ways of restoring the rainforest. If you can give $500 (GB £350), your contribution will ensure the protection of an entire acre of forest. Every acre counts, so please adopt a Forest Future now!
