Cocoa forests - cabrucas shape the landscape of the cocoa coast of southern Bahia, Brazil's traditional cocoa-growing region. The region's biodiversity has been preserved only due to these cocoa forests. Cabrucas are used by native fauna as corridors between rain forest fragments or as habitats themselves. A large part of Brazil's cocoa has been produced on the Cocoa Coast for more than 250 years. Cocoa cultivation is the most important economic sector in the region. Bom Pastor Lda. cultivates 20 hectares of certified organic cocoa on the Fazenda Bom Pastor, and a further 30 hectares will be reforested with cabruca in the years to come. We have joined the Cabruca Cooperativa, a local association of organic cocoa farmers. By expanding our cabruca agroforestry, we will be able to provide more well-paid jobs for the region and preserve the unique biodiversity of the Mata Atlantica.
