With the mission of conserving and restoring the Atlantic Forest of the Peixe and Camanducaia river basins, Associa\u00e7\u00e3o Ambientalista Copa\u00edba was founded in 1999 in response to the degradation of the Atlantic Forest and both rivers. Oscip operates in 19 municipalities<\/span>,<\/span> developing projects and programs of environmental education, environmental policies, production of seedlings of native trees and forest restoration.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>In 2019 it won the Best Environmental NGO Award in Brazil and in 2020 it received <\/span>the Muriqui Prize, one of the greatest tributes to the country's environmental actions, recognized by UNESCO er<\/span>carried out by the Atlantic Forest Biosphere Reserve.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>To date, it has produced more than 3.5 million native seedlings at Viveiro Florestal, planted more than 856 thousand seedlings with the implementation of 640 hectares of new forests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn its 23-year history, more than 320 rural landowners have benefited from seedlings, inputs for preparing the areas and technical monitoring for two years after planting on their properties. And now it's time to register interested parties.<\/span>. Q<\/span>Anyone who wants to improve the quantity and quality of water on the property can look for Copa\u00edba to register and benefit.\u201d comments L\u00edgia Soares, communications coordinator.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cThe main reason why properties are registered is the lack of water. Producers register to implement forest restoration in search of recovery of springs, hilltops<\/span>s <\/span>and waterways, as they know that <\/span>to<\/span> plant forest<\/span>,<\/span> he can<\/span>m<\/span> bring back or increase the amount of water in springs.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Supporting rural landowners for the restoration of their properties is something important because they own the land that produces water that benefits everyone, and our region produces part of the water that supplies the metropolitan region of Campinas. Our area of operation is mountainous, top of the basin and it is super important to be preserved because it guarantees water and energy security for economic activities that help to heat up the economy of the State of S\u00e3o Paulo\u201d, explains L\u00edgia.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Forests also bring other essential ecosystem services, such as soil fertility, erosion and silting control, action of pollinators that benefit agricultural production, biodiversity conservation, climate regulation and there are still income alternatives, such as raising native bees without stinger and honey production, for example.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cIn 23 years, Copa\u00edba has formed a support team that we want to strengthen more and more<\/span>. s<\/span>They are companies, people and institutions that join efforts and contribute to local actions<\/span>, <\/span>that cause positive impacts<\/span>,<\/span> beyond the region of the Circuito das \u00c1guas Paulista, they cover a global context, contributing to the sequestration of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, fighting the warming of the planet. With the number of seedlings planted in restoration projects, Copa\u00edba sequesters around 150,000 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere\u201d, reinforces the Association's collaborator.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Therefore, by supporting Copa\u00edba<\/span>,<\/span> people and companies are collaborating with actions of great positive impact for humanity and the planet, showing that they recognize their responsibility towards the environment and society.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>With great seriousness, focus, dedication and professionalism, Copa\u00edba works to always achieve the best results and has already won recognition. Very attentive to its management, it prepared a strategic plan that designed its vision to guide the activities of the next 5 years: to be known and strongly active in its area of operation and geographical coverage. With sufficient resources and committed people, conserving biodiversity and offering sustainable solutions to people and companies (national and international), with a center for environmental education and research. Reaching: 800 owners supported; 300 partner companies; 90,000 people assisted in Environmental Education; 200 volunteers; 40 collaborators; 1,500 hectares restored and 3 million seedlings planted. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Congratulations Copa\u00edba, for its 23 years of history, which started as a project and gave rise to an Association recognized and awarded nationally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
