Aftermath of the fire.
A commitment to double our efforts after a devestating fire
The devestating fire at Serra da Beleza Wednesday 11th of September (see our
News section) which destroyed over 1750 hectaceres of Atlantic Forest has impacted on our project, but has also strengthened our resolve.
We were saved from total destruction by the wind change at the highest point of our neighbours Atlantic Forest - Cavalo Russo - which was inaccessible to the fire engines and the many helicopters hands on from the State of Rio Government and INEA to help put out the fire.
The fire started at our largest bamboo bushes by the roadside, which was home to many wildlife species.
The bamboo after the fire. The area is being left to regenerate naturally.
In spite of this tragic and recent devastating fire, we continue to be totally committed to our environmental endeavours at the farm.
