The Atlantic Forest once covered vast areas of Brazil, but today, less than 12% of its original vegetation remains. Deforestation threatens biodiversity and millions of people who rely on this ecosystem for clean water and a stable climate. But there is hope – and you can be part of the solution. 

More than 26 years ago, Lélia Wanick and Sebastião Salgado had a dream: to bring a devastated land back to life. They turned this dream into reality by restoring the forest on their family’s former farmland. From this dream, Instituto Terra was born. Today, we are a global leader in ecosystem restoration, environmental education, and sustainable rural development. 

With the help of supporters like you, we have planted over 3 million native trees, restoring vital ecosystems, reviving endangered species’ habitats, and bringing water sources back to life. But our work is far from over. Every hectare restored is a step toward securing water resources, biodiversity, and a healthier planet.
