🌳 In rural communities in Espírito Santo, Brazil🇧🇷, a World Bank–supported program combines reforestation with diversified livelihoods to store more water in watersheds, reduce flood and drought risks, by encouraging water storage in watersheds and decreasing sediment in the reservoirs that supply the state capital’s metropolitan region, Vitória. 

✅ One of the program’s activities is payment for environmental services, which compensates rural producers like Tânia, Henrique and Fabio for restoring and preserving native forests.⁠ “Areas that were riddled with gullies and where the soil washed directly into the river have been restored. That is a service to humanity and needs support,” Fabio sums up.
⁠
💚 Over the past 15 years, the Reflorestar Program has served more than 5,000 properties, promoting the restoration of 12,000 hectares and the conservation of 13,000 hectares. Check the link in our bio to read the full story!
