From July to September 2016 we are supporting the World Land Trust’s Olympic Forest Appeal, which aims to raise £40,000 to protect a vital parcel of Atlantic Forest in the year of the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games in Brazil. This land will form the Olympic Forest Reserve and will be incorporated into the reserve areas owned and protected by WLT’s Brazilian conservation partner, Reserva Ecologica de Guapiacu (REGUA). The Atlantic Forest is a global conservation hotspot as one of the world’s most diverse, but most threatened ecosystems, with just seven per cent of the original forest remaining. This gallery illustrates the biodiversity of the wider Atlantic Forest region.
