OUR WORK IN 2020
I RESTORATION
BENEFITS WOMEN IN
THE AMAZON AND THE
SEMI-ARID REGION
WRI Brasil has supported rural
communities, especially women, who
restore landscapes in the Amazon
region of Pará and the semi-arid
region of Bahia. Travel restrictions
imposed because of the pandemic
led to an interruption of in-person
activities, but we continued to monitor
local beneficiaries and implement
activities scheduled for 2020.
In Bahia, we contributed to the
cooperation agreement signed
between the Regional Development
and Action Company (CAR), Adapta
Group, and Cooperativa Ser do
Sertão, which will mobilize resources
to recover degraded areas in the
Pintadas municipality region.
Twenty-five hectares
of demonstration units
with agroforestry systems
will be implemented.
In Juruti, Pará, the partnership
with PretaTerra, the Federal
University of Western Pará,
and with local associations and
unions made it possible to move
forward with the project. An online
collective was created and trained
to streamline agroforestry technical
assistance, the elaboration of
projects, and fundraising to
expand areas under restoration.
