Welcome to Iracambi
Where people from across the world come together to help save and restore one of the world’s top biodiversity hotspots: Brazil’s beautiful Atlantic Rainforest.
Our job is to ensure that people and forests can grow and prosper together, and we do it through a program of research, education and hands-on practical actions: creating protected areas, growing and planting forest trees, monitoring the health of the forest, its water, soils and fauna, working with community-based tourism and payment for environmental services, and promoting sound environmental policies and practices at state, regional and county level.

Monkeyspace!
Showcase your company’s brand to the world, while engaging your employees in an Olympian challenge. This little guy can help! This is the wooly spider monkey, known in Brazil as the muriqui: the most endangered primate in the Americas. He’s endangered because his forest habitat has been cleared for logging and farming. However, since being shortlisted as mascot for the Rio Olympics it looks like his time has come. Your company can help safeguard his future – to the Olympics and beyond.

Junior Scientists @ Iracambi
Junior Scientists@ Iracambi transforms schoolkids in Brazil’s Atlantic Rainforest into forest guardians. Through hands-on education they learn real science, collecting and monitoring data on soils, water and weather, making, planting and caring for forest seedlings, and sharing their discoveries with their families. Our weekly education program is helping raise a new generation to understand and care for the rainforests that shelter biodiversity, protect water resources and help regulate our climate.

Restoring the Forest
At the Iracambi Forest Nursery we make seedlings to help restore the magnificent Atlantic Rainforest – one tree at a time. Since 2002 we have supplied over 100,000 native species seedlings to plant around water sources, on stream banks, on steep slopes and in patches of secondary forest. Students and volunteers from across the world, as well as local farm families and schoolkids, are working together to restore the forest, protect valuable water resources, and increase and improve our Monkeyspace. Won’t you join us?
