Just a few months later: the growth of areas restored during the latest planting season

By Invisible on news page

As the rainy season between October and April comes to an end, so does another planting season at the Black Jaguar Foundation. With the arrival of the dry season, a new and essential phase of ecological restoration begins: monitoring and maintaining the areas restored over the past several months. 

Even in this early stage, the transformation is already visible. Native seeds and seedlings are establishing themselves, vegetation cover is gradually returning to the soil, and previously degraded land is beginning to recover life, structure, and biodiversity. 

Field records and images captured across the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor reveal the first stages of this regeneration process. Areas that were once degraded are slowly developing into young forests, helping reconnect the Amazon and Cerrado while supporting the recovery of ecosystems and biodiversity throughout the region. 

Over the coming months, our field teams will continue monitoring these areas closely, carrying out maintenance activities and tracking the development of native species as the restored landscape continues to evolve. 

Ecological restoration goes far beyond planting trees. It is a long-term process of regenerating ecosystems, rebuilding connections, and creating the conditions for nature to thrive once again.

Safety and well-being in focus at Black Jaguar Foundation’s 1st Internal Week for Accident Prevention

By Invisible on news page

In September, the Black Jaguar Foundation held its first SIPAT — Internal Week for Accident Prevention at Work, bringing the entire team together for a full day dedicated to care, awareness, and valuing life. 

Held on September 19, 2025, the SIPAT featured a diverse and inspiring program. The day began with workplace exercises, emphasizing the importance of physical activity for daily well-being, followed by a discussion on alcoholism and substance dependence, creating space for dialogue and active listening. 

After a coffee break and prize draw, the morning continued with the talk The Magical Show I”, delivering a light and motivational message on self-awareness and safety. In the afternoon, the team participated in a session on workplace safety, as well as the talks “Yellow September: You Are Not Alone” on depression and suicide prevention, and “Motivation and Personal Development”, closing the day with reflection and positive energy. 

SIPAT was also marked by the active participation of all employees, who engaged fully in the activities. 

We want to thank everyone who joined and helped make this event special because protecting lives is part of our mission to restore the Araguaia.

We’ve been selected by Conservation International to support the restoration of 150 hectares on small-scale properties in Pará

By Invisible on news page

Good news is coming to Pará! The Black Jaguar Foundation was one of the organizations chosen by Conservation International (CI-Brazil) to implement the project “Forest for Well-being.” The goal is to restore 150 hectares on small rural properties over the next two rainy seasons. 

Unlike other projects we have carried out, this one has a special focus: directly supporting producers of smaller areas — up to 4 fiscal modules — so they can lead the restoration on their own land. This makes the process more local, participatory, and connected to the daily life of those living in rural areas. 

With technical and financial support from CI and the Amazon Fund/BNDES, we will be able to test and apply new restoration methods such as assisted natural regeneration and agroforestry systems. The idea is to go beyond environmental recovery: also generate social and economic benefits and strengthen the involved communities. 

This opportunity came through a public call, which supports restoration projects focused on social inclusion, local protagonism, and solutions that truly make sense for those on the front lines. 

As Conservation International itself highlighted: “These initiatives implement nature-based solutions, focusing on community leadership and large-scale restoration of the Amazon biome.” 

We are excited about this new challenge and the chance to work even closer to the people, the countryside, and the forest!

Consolidated results of the 2024/2025 planting season

By Invisible on news page

The results of the 2024/2025 planting season are in – and they bring great news! 

We’ve made significant progress in the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor, with over 200 hectares restored and 25 km of watercourses protected. Since the project’s inception, more than 1.2 million trees have been planted in the Corridor! 

Our work across 12 farms along the corridor has been key to expanding our impact. Thousands of native trees have been planted, respecting local biodiversity and strengthening the reconnection between the Cerrado and Amazon biomes 

This season has also brought benefits for people: over 70 jobs were created, both directly and indirectly, boosting the local economy and promoting sustainable development. 

Together, we are making a difference! Every tree planted and every action taken is an important step for the future.
