BrasilOur project focuses on conserving and restoring the Atlantic Forest, one of the most threatened and biodiverse biomes in the world. Over the past two decades, we have produced more than 3.5 million native seedlings, restored over 600 hectares, and engaged more than 320 landowners. Through environmental education, public policies, and ecological restoration, we are working together to protect this vital ecosystem.
We’re currently working with the project to explore a new planting site and prepare the next batch of trees for you to plant.
Stay tuned — we’ll share more updates as soon as they’re ready!
Biodiversity!
More than 100 species native to the Atlantic Forest, produced through seeds collected from thousands of mother trees in the region.
Copaíba seeds begin to germinate, which gives the Organization its name and is native to the Atlantic Forest.
It's not just in the "external part" that trees differentiate between species, this also happens in parts we don't normally see: in the roots! 🌳👁️
But there is one characteristic that needs to be the same for all of them: They need to be well trained to be able to develop well
In addition to the production of native seedlings and ecological restoration, another very important activity nowadays is environmental education.
How many seedlings do you think there are here?
Viveiro Florestal Copaíba has a production capacity of 500 thousand seedlings per year. Depending on the season, it has a greater or lesser number of seedlings. At the moment it is "down", where most of last season's seedlings have
Seedlings of "Pinheiro do Paraná", a tree native to the Atlantic Forest that is threatened with extinction.
This area is located in the municipality of Toledo, Brazil, and its restoration project was implemented in 2022.
2,030 seedlings were planted on 1,918 hectares.
Through our partners at Tree Nation, this project was possible to happen.
This area is located in the municipality of Águas de Lindóia, in Brazil, and had its restoration project implemented in 2020.
1,300 seedlings were planted, 1,100 of which were fully planted and 200 seedlings in an enrichment area, totaling 1.54 hectares.

With the capacity to produce 500 thousand seedlings per year, our nursery has more than 130 species, which undergo weekly quality selections, so that they reach the field firm and strong!
Our team continues to plan trees everyday.
The production of native seedlings at Copaíba, from locally collected seeds, is essential for effective ecological restoration. These seedlings, genetically adapted to the specific environment, have a better chance of survival and sustainable establishment in recovering ecosystems.

This planting took place in September 2022, in an area planted by Copaíba with the support of Tree Nation. It was part of an environmental education action, with students from a school in Socorro/SP. The seedlings were between 20 and 30cm tall and look how they
Planting trees and ensuring that they develop strong roots is also creating roots within us, making us part of this soil.
One by one, the seedlings are placed in cradles already prepared with substrates and hydrogel, watered and monitored.
In two years we will be able to see that
A beautiful day to restore the Atlantic Forest
Today is a beautiful, clear and bright day. And it is even more beautiful among the more than 300 thousand seedlings that are developing in our Forest Nursery.
