Introduction
The Atlantic Forest, one of the most threatened biomes in Brazil, is receiving important support for its preservation. The Fundo Casa, an organization dedicated to sustainable development, has launched a call to finance projects that aim to restore the forest, generate income and adapt communities to climate change.
The National Call
The national call of the Fundo Casa provides for the financing of up to 42 community initiatives that operate in the Atlantic Forest. These projects must be focused on forest restoration, income generation and climate adaptation in the biome. The call is open to non-governmental organizations, cooperatives and community associations that have experience working with sustainable development.
The Importance of the Atlantic Forest
The Atlantic Forest is a unique and diverse biome, which houses a wide variety of plant and animal species. In addition, it is fundamental for climate regulation and the production of potable water. However, the Atlantic Forest is under great pressure due to agricultural expansion, urbanization and logging.
The Objectives of the Fundo Casa
The Fundo Casa aims to support projects that contribute to the preservation of the Atlantic Forest and the sustainable development of the communities that live in it. In addition, the organization seeks to promote forest restoration, income generation and climate adaptation in the biome.
How to Participate
Organizations interested in participating in the call must send their proposals by the established deadline. The proposals must include information about the project, such as objective, methodology, budget and expected impact.
Conclusion
The Fundo Casa is offering an important opportunity for organizations that work with sustainable development in the Atlantic Forest. With financing of up to R$ 2.5 million, these projects can have a significant impact on the preservation of the biome and the development of the communities that live in it.
