Biodiversity
Protecting the flora and fauna of the Caatinga, a resilient and underrated biome.
RPPN Elias Andrade
RPPN Elias Andrade protects a living stretch of the Caatinga — the only exclusively Brazilian biome. Here we safeguard biodiversity, water, carbon, and the silence of the sertão for generations to come.
“To conserve is an act of memory and of the future at once.”
Foundation
