Floresta Viva’s overall objective is to contribute to investments in ecological restoration in Brazilian biomes, consequently achieving benefits related to preserving biodiversity, water resource availability, reducing erosion, improving the microclimate, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and generating jobs and income.

The Biodiversity Corridors Call for Proposals is the result of the combination of resources from BNDES and Petrobras and aims to support projects that promote ecological restoration and strengthen the restoration production chain in biodiversity corridors located in the Cerrado and Pantanal.

About the Biodiversity Corridors Call for Proposals:

The notice provides R$42 million to support ecological restoration projects and strengthen the restoration production chain in biodiversity corridors located in the Cerrado and Pantanal, distributed between the states of Bahia, Minas Gerais, Goiás, Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul. The scope is described in item 7 of the Call for Proposals.

We hope to support up to nine (9) projects, which will have an execution period of up to 48 months.
