BRAZILIAN AND UK TEAMS
Founded in 2001, REGUA is a Brazilian association dedicated to the conservation and restoration of the Atlantic Forest. Maintained by its members and supporters, the organization is managed collaboratively, with decisions made in assembly.
In addition to support from partners and the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest Trust (BART), based in the United Kingdom, REGUA's lodge also contributes a significant portion of its operational expenses.
To fulfill its environmental mission, REGUA relies on a diverse team—technical, field, and support—that works together to protect nature and strengthen local communities.
