Why we exist

Rapid Reforest was founded to restore ecosystems and fight climate change by planting native trees. We focus on Brazil's Atlantic Forest, one of the most threatened forests on Earth.

We connect companies that want to act on their carbon footprint with restoration work that is real, local and visible, carried out with the communities who live beside the forest.

How we work

Native species only

We plant trees that belong in the Atlantic Forest, chosen for each site's climate and soil.

With local communities

Indigenous, Quilombola and local residents plant, care for and benefit from the restored forest.

With public partners

Our flagship project is run with the Paraíba State Secretariat for Environment and Sustainability.

Visible results

We document our sites with photos and drone imagery so partners can see the forest grow.
