Systemic vision allows for the restoration to scale and expand

Biomas sees ecological restoration as the reconstruction of interdependencies. Soil, water, biodiversity, economy, and society must be aligned for ecosystems to recover in a sustainable way.

That’s why, in the Project Muçununga, each department operates in an integrated and interdependent way. From mapping degraded areas to planning forest regeneration and engaging local communities, all stages happen simultaneously, and collaboration among professionals ensures outcomes that go far beyond carbon credits.
