We are the coletivo Verdejar, a collective of environmentalists, technicians, students, experts, researchers, and change agents from different areas gathered to create a Volunteer Network to develop actions and projects accordingly to priority demands in the environmental area of the Discovery Coast, in the south of Bahia, Brazil`s most devastated biome.
Our projects are independent and have the support of donations in order to be realized.
With increased tourism, urban sprawl and the visible reduction of our forests and green areas over the past decades, some Discovery Coast residents gathered to develop a Volunteer Network. Our mission is to raise awareness, through the development of actions and projects of Social Mobilization, Education, Communication and Environmental Management with a focus on research for the development of actions for the conservation of the Atlantic Forest and other biomes of Brazil`s Northeast.
The project was inspired by some examples of success achieved through Civil Society Organizations that have been developed, for instance, in cities like New York and Uberlandia - Minas Gerais.
Our overall goal is to plant a million trees in the Discovery Coast through the development of a Volunteer Network acting as collaborators and supporter agents, developing concrete projects and actions that integrate various sectors of society as Government, Civil Society Organizations, Schools, Universities and Local Companies.
You can help our project with seeds, trees, material or making a donation!
