A Total Of 100 Square Kilometers Have Been Reforested, A Part Of The Native Vegetation, In The State Of São Paulo
The state of São Paulo has managed to recover a portion of the native vegetation. The before and after of the Serra do Mar in Cubatão are a portrayal that humans can indeed correct the mistakes made in nature. In a report published by Jornal Nacional, it showed that the project aimed for aerial seeding, with seeds packaged in gel capsules.

Biologist Renata Mendonça says, “I feel very proud. Cubatão was known at the time as the most polluted city in the world.”
Geographer Roney Santos and biologist Renata were part of the team that collected the seeds for reforestation at the time. The geographer states, “Here we conducted an applied research process. We started practically from scratch and achieved results that we see here today, 30 years later.”

100 kilometers of Atlantic forest have been reforested in the city of Cubatão. The project is a milestone in the environmental movement, prompting other similar decisions to be made in the coming years. The State Forest Inventory has been changing its morphology throughout the reforestation process.
A map of the area in the 2000s shows the location completely deforested. The most current map shows that over ten years, the native forest increased from 4,340,000 to 5,670,000 hectares, a total forest cover of 22.9%. Marco Aurélio Nalon, a physicist and the inventory coordinator, states that there has been an increase of five percentage points.
Marco Aurélio says, “This increase may seem small at first, but it is very significant given the intense economic and social dynamics of the state of São Paulo. The most important thing is that it has occurred in areas of the state where we have historically seen the greatest losses of native vegetation cover.”
João Paulo Capobianco, a biologist and vice president of the Institute of Democracy and Sustainability, stated at the time, “This replanting is very significant. It is an important initiative.” He added, “What happened there was a total reversal of a dramatic situation to a very positive one. This demonstrates that organized societal action produces results.”
Another factor that was quite representative, besides the involvement of NGOs and public policy, was the preservation of the environment in agribusiness.
João emphasizes, “There is no agribusiness without preserved environmental conditions. There is no pollination. There is no abundant water in the necessary quantity for production. There is no associated biodiversity. There is no soil conservation. Environmental protection is part of agricultural production.”
