In the past few weeks, we embarked on an exciting journey of forest restoration in Sales Oliveira, SP. Our mission? To enhance the conditions of a stream in the midst of a landscape dominated by sugarcane. Here are the highlights of this action, which is part of the Biriba Program and Ana Primavesi, a carbon program that encompasses this and other activities.
🌱 We employed the "Muvuca de Sementes" technique, mixing over 46 native species to create a true treasure trove of biodiversity. The seed mix is combined with sand to improve drainage and planting, providing an ideal environment.
We were a team of 12 people, pooling our efforts to expedite the work. After the tractor passed, team members walked from row to row, distributing the seeds. Over approximately 4 hectares have been completed, with another 2 hectares to go.
The area is a Permanent Preservation Area (PPA), next to a river, which was previously dominated by sugarcane and will now return to its natural and protective vegetation. This restoration improves the region's water resources and creates a vegetative corridor for wildlife.
And to top it off, nature cooperated with us. The rains arrived, celebrating our efforts and aiding the seeds in germination and growth. 🌧️
This is just the beginning of our journey. We have a series of actions ahead, so stay tuned to learn more.
