In order to celebrate the week of Mata Atlantica, one of the most endangered biomas in the world and also a hot spot for biodiversity, on May 30, Sinal do Vale inaugurated our new tree nursery and reforestation project, led by SINAL resident Ryan Vasseur, with a day of tree planting of native Mata Atlantica trees with a group of students from the Brazilian university, PUC. As a simbolic act Sinal Volunteers and PUC students plant trees.
Sinal is part of a group of environmental organization located at these foothills involved in their programmes of conservation are concerned with this prospect and have reached a consensus that a Rio “Green Belt” is needed to contain the urban encroachment, consolidating the Mountains` buffer area, protecting the remnant biodiversity of the Atlantic rainforest one of the world`s most critically endangered hotspots. Considering the importance of water resources and cloud formation the mountains offer, this is an ever more important obligation. Each tree planted makes a difference.
