The Team in Brazil

Eduardo is one of Brazil’s leading reforestation experts. He has a 17-year track record of designing, implementing and managing reforestation projects – principally in the Atlantic Rainforest – that deliver maximum ecological and biodiversity benefits for clients. He also regularly acts as a technical advisor to third party restoration projects.

The majority of Eduardo’s projects use a mix of native species that closely replicate how the natural forest would have been prior to deforestation. These projects therefore deliver on the widest possible range of sustainable benefits – beyond demonstrable carbon sequestration – and includes water and soil quality and maximise plant and animal biodiversity.

Eduardo is an alumni of Latin America’s leading university for ecological studies (University of São Paulo) and has a PHD in Conservation of Forest Ecosystems - Forest Restoration and Biomass Quantification, as well as a Master of Science in Agro-ecosystems Ecology and a Bachelor in Forestry (all from the University of São Paulo).

Eduardo is regularly cited in multiple environmental scientific publications for research on reforestation, vegetation and biomass science and has developed and manages a small team of scientific researchers who work with him on reforestation projects.
