Project ClickArvore
The program was born of a apparently simple idea, then director of the Institute of Environmental Vidgua, Rodrigo Augustine: "There are 5 million Internet users in Brazil: one of them to plant trees resolved via the Internet, we would save the Atlantic Forest. Fundation SOS Forest Atlantica turned the dream into reality, in 2000, launching the site. www.clickarvore.com.br For 10 years, thousands of Internet users could donate one click with your tree every day and monitor their growth over the years. During this period, the Clickarvore enabled the planting of more than 22 million seedlings of native species used to restore 13,000 hectares of Atlantica rainforest. In addition to environmental gains, Clickarvore also contributed to generating jobs and income in areas where farms are located in the restored areas and by market expansion and diversification tree seedlings native to the Atlantica forest.
Among the main Programme, include: support local initiatives for restoration of areas, by fostering and donating seedlings of native tree species of the Atlantic and technical information for its planting, fostering forest seed collection and production seedlings of native tree species of the Atlantic.
