In Rio de Janeiro, children and their families participated in a reforestation project aimed at restoring the Atlantic Forest, a vital biome that has been severely degraded since the 16th century. The initiative, Refloresta Rio, has successfully reforested 3,500 hectares to combat deforestation and related disasters.
The Atlantic Forest, once covering 15% of Brazil, now only has 24% of its original area left. Federal legislation since 2006 has further supported these local efforts, mandating reforestation on agricultural lands to help preserve this unique ecosystem.
