Why are we replanting the Atlantic Forest?
This episode of the Possibly podcast takes listeners to the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. Land clearing, population growth, and deforestation have left it at just 10% of its original size, but governments and nonprofits are working to change that. How are they restoring the forest to its former size?
As part of ÃÀ¼§ÉçÇø's Wildlife and Reforestation expedition in Brazil, scientists and volunteers are helping restore the Atlantic Forest and monitor wildlife responses to reforestation. Hear from Ashley Junger, who traveled to Brazil to support reforestation efforts as part of this expedition.
