In the region of Alter do Chão, along the banks of the Tapajós River, ACRAA’s ecological restoration efforts are transforming degraded areas into thriving spaces of life and biodiversity. Since 2020, ACRAA has been working to restore riparian forests, streams, and flooded woodlands—critical ecosystems for protecting water resources and maintaining local ecological balance. With its own nursery, the association has cultivated and planted over 1,000 native trees, including species such as açaí, andiroba, comandá, pirauxí, and others essential for forest regeneration. The Impact of Restoration Each seedling planted by ACRAA represents a step toward restoring native vegetation, helping to: Protect springs and riverbanks, preventing erosion and siltation; Reestablish habitats for Amazonian wildlife, including birds, primates, and pollinating insects; Enhance climate resilience, contributing to the balance of the local microclimate. Beyond reforestation, ACRAA integrates Indigenous traditional knowledge and scientific expertise, partnering with Borari communities and institutions like UFOPA to ensure restoration is both…

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 Previous Next 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”…
