Blue Amazon Restoration
The Blue Amazon mangrove reforestation site is along the Southern border of the Amazon, which is facing alarming rates of deforestation. The community, whose primary livelihood is fishing, is primarily made up of Quilombolas–people groups descended from escaped slaves. This project will improve the livelihoods of local fishers, create jobs in areas with minimal employment opportunities, and restore some of the most carbon rich forests on the planet.
