Our mission
Brazil’s Cerrado, the world’s most biodiverse tropical savanna, is home to around 5% of global species and provides water to eight of the country’s 12 major river basins. Yet, it faces severe degradation, with approximately half its native vegetation already converted, largely for agriculture.
Leading restoration efforts, Araticum – Articulation for the Cerrado Restoration brings together multiple sectors to restore 2 million hectares by 2030, contributing to Brazil’s national target of 12 million hectares. Through an integrated landscape approach, it seeks to restore degraded ecosystems, conserve biodiversity and traditional knowledge, reduce social inequalities and strengthen climate resilience.
Guided by three strategies – restoration intelligence, opportunity generation and organisational strengthening – Araticum works closely with local communities to address the drivers of degradation and develop scalable restoration models that can inspire similar efforts across Brazil and beyond.
