Prince William Allocates 1 Million Pounds, About R$ 7 Million, to the Brazilian Project Re.green to Restore 1 Million Hectares and Capture Up to 15 Million Tons of CO₂ Annually in the Atlantic Forest and the Amazon

Prince William invested 1 million British pounds, about R$ 7 million, in the keyword Re.green, winner of the Earthshot Prize 2025, to enhance the restoration of the Atlantic Forest and the Amazon, aiming to restore 1 million hectares and capture up to 15 million tons of CO₂ annually.

Re.green Expands Large-Scale Forest Restoration

The funding was directed to the Brazilian company re.green, winner of one of the categories of the Earthshot Prize 2025, an environmental award created by the heir to the British throne to promote innovative solutions to the climate crisis.

The recognized initiative combines artificial intelligence, satellite imagery, and ecological data to restore degraded areas at scale.

Goal Includes Millions of Seedlings by 2032

Founded in 2021, the company has already cultivated about six million seedlings and plans to plant more than 65 million by 2032.

Currently, operations focus on more than 34,000 hectares in Bahia, Pará, Maranhão, and Mato Grosso.

Projects are developed in areas of degraded pastures. Re.green directs efforts to restore strategic biomes, focusing on the Atlantic Forest and the Amazon, expanding the scale of environmental intervention.

Technology Guides Selection of Areas and Native Species

Before planting, re.green uses drones, satellites, and proprietary algorithms to identify regions with the highest potential for environmental recovery and climate return.

The mapping defines areas with higher technical viability.

Based on the analysis, the company acquires or leases rural properties and establishes the most suitable restoration model for each location. The priority is given to native species of each biome.

Continuous Monitoring and Carbon Credits

The monitoring of areas is continuous and evaluates both forest regeneration and carbon capture. The captured volume is converted into credits traded with interested companies.

According to CEO Thiago Picolo, restoring forests goes beyond planting trees and requires technical and scientific planning. Re.green structures its operations based on this principle.

The Earthshot Prize 2025 ceremony took place in Rio de Janeiro and marked the first edition of the award in Latin America, reinforcing Brazil’s prominence in the global and international environmental agenda.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The coastal El Niño is not the classic El Niño, but it already raises a question in Brazil: can the phenomenon alter rain, heat, and winter?

The commander of the Brazilian Army publicly admitted that the country now perceives real threats in South America, something that, according to him, did not exist in the past, and advocates for the increasing use of drones and technology to secure the borders.

In China, even those who beg on the street already have a QR Code, paper money has practically disappeared from daily life in just ten years, and the entire country has come to live on invisible payments via mobile phones.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.
