Brazil is home to some of the planet’s largest areas of tropical forest, but they are under intense pressure. The Atlantic Forest, on the country’s eastern coast, once covered 350 million acres, but today only 12% of it remains, according to the World Wildlife Fund. The Amazon rainforest, which lies mostly in Brazil and is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, has lost almost 20% of forest cover in the last 50 years.

Re.green, a Brazilian ecological restoration company, wants to restore these lost forests in a financially viable way –– and it’s relying heavily on technology to do so. https://cnn.it/3JzUcxc
