Sérgio lives on the edge of Brazil’s Atlantic Forest – a crucial but often overlooked ecosystem compared to the Amazon. Like much of the land in Brazil, Sérgio’s property had once been cleared of trees to make space for cattle grazing. Realizing that he can make a difference, Sérgio decided to restore the forest in his own backyard.

Fast forward 10 years and Sérgio has planted more than 11,000 trees.
Thanks to the Ecosia community and our local partner, Instituto Espinaço, he hasn’t only restored his own land, but also brought life back to a small piece of Brazil’s forgotten forest.
