Frequently Asked Questions
What is Restaura Biomas? Where does the project operate?
Restaura Biomas supports large-scale native vegetation restoration across Brasil, working in alignment with public policies and strengthening the conditions needed to advance restoration efforts.
The project will be implemented across all six Brazilian biomes—Amazon, Atlantic Forest, Cerrado, Caatinga, Pampa and Pantanal.
