Replântica Project

The project aims at promoting shared responsibility for biodiversity improvement, ecosystem services and climate resilience by implementing capacity-building measures to different stakeholders. ITT, with extensive experience in the biome, has developed a public policy on sustainable rural development through the Rio Rural project. REGUA, a renowned local conservation NGO, actively engages in ecological restoration and biodiversity conservation and plays a critical role in the Atlantic Rainforest Restoration Pact.
Together with the Forest Institute of UFRRJ, ITT and REGUA will create a training program based on local knowledge and best practices. The program courses will be offered to landowners, restoration trainers, students, and interested locals, particularly women. Even though the courses will be specifically tailored to the target groups, main subjects will cover biodiversity conservation, ecological restoration and climate change mitigation and adaptation, among others. While the training will occur at and around REGUA, participants will apply their knowledge to their own lands, contributing to the restoration of the Mata Atlântica in Rio de Janeiro.

🎓 Training provided by experienced professors and local technicians;
