Marcela's story is the story of the importance of trees.
Marcela is from Pontal do Paranapanema, in western Brazil. Here, Ecosia's tree-planting partner in the area, IPÊ, employs local communities to grow the tree saplings they’ll then pay other community members to plant in a massive effort to restore the Atlantic Forest.
Also known as the little sister of the Amazon Forest, the Atlantic Forest is immensely important for biodiversity and human livelihood. Watch Marcela’s story, or how protecting the planet helps people, biodiversity and the economy.
Your searches on Ecosia have helped us plant a little under two million trees with Marcela and her community, employing a total of 214 people and counting — obrigado!
A big thank you to IPE, our tree-planting partners on the ground doing this fabulous work. Make sure to follow them on YouTube (@IpeOrgBrConservacao) or on Instagram (@institutoipe).
