Save acres in Brazil »

REGUA Project, Brazil

The World Land Trust played an important part in establishing a reserve in the Atlantic rainforest of Brazil in the year 2000. The Atlantic rainforest is one of the most important eco-regions in the world, but only 7% of the original area remains, and it is becoming increasingly fragmented. The Trust is therefore raising funds for Reserva Ecologica De Guapi Assu (REGUA) in order to increase the reserve and protect the Atlantic rainforest against further losses.
