Ecological Restoration at ACRAA: Reviving the Amazon’s Vital Ecosystems
At ACRAA, our ecological restoration work goes beyond simple reforestation – it’s a science-based process of reviving entire native ecosystems. Since our founding in 2020, we’ve specialized in restoring critical habitats including the riparian forests of the Alter do Chão-PA region, Riparian forests along the Tapajós River and fragile wetland ecosystems (igarapés and igapós).
Our Proven Methodology:
Native Seed Collection: We carefully gather seeds from local tree and shrub species, collecting from the plants native to the ecosytems we are restoring
Nursery Cultivation: At our dedicated nursery in Alter do Chão, we nurture these seeds into robust seedlings
Strategic Planting: We plant these native seedlings in degraded areas using ecological best practices
Tangible Impact (2020-2025):
✓ 1,000+ native trees planted in high-priority areas
✓ Focus on combating erosion due to wind on the Ilha do Amor – the “postcard” beach threatened by vegetation loss
✓ Expansion to multiple sites across the lower Tapajós region
Why Our Approach Works:
We use only locally-sourced native species for maximum survival rates
Our techniques combine scientific knowledge with traditional indigenous ecological wisdom
Every planting strengthens biodiversity while protecting against climate change impacts
Looking ahead, we’re scaling up to plant thousands more trees annually, with ongoing monitoring to ensure long-term ecosystem recovery. This work is made possible through our partnerships with indigenous communities, universities, and local organizations.
