The reasons that lead landowners to look for the Verde Novo project sponsored by Petrobras through the Petrobras Socio-environmental program run by Copaíba are the most diverse: recovery of springs, greater diversity of native tree species on the property, attracting bees to help the plantation, among others. And the reason that led the couple Roberto and Clemência to reforest the property was the desire to plant and take care of the forests!

The couple's story inspires many people for their commitment and dedication to taking care of the site that began to be reforested almost 10 years ago, shortly after Roberto and Clemência acquired the property in the municipality of Bueno Brandão. “We like to take care of nature, it has always been our dream. We fight for it and we live for it” comments Roberto.

2,600 seedlings of native Atlantic Forest trees were planted, donated by the Verde Novo project, but the farmer couple continues to plant and increase the forest through seedlings produced from the seeds that the planted trees have been producing. There are more than 3 ha (30,000 meters²) of forests.

Many wild animals were seen on the property, such as birds of different species, deer and even the maned wolf. Clemência comments fondly about the restored area on the property “This little piece of land is our dream and the forest we planted is paradise. Every human being should respect, because without nature we have no life. I would like to live another 150 years to see the trees growing, getting bigger and bigger and bearing their fruit.”

A series of videos about the Verde Novo project will soon be released, where several stories of owners who participated and participate in the Verde Novo project will be contacted. It will be possible to learn more about the history of the owner couple Roberto and Clemência.
