Reconnecting the Atlantic Forest
Retopia is a partnership between Arne Quinze and Go Forest. Arne Quinze is a Belgian contemporary artist, painter, and sculptor. With this project, Arne wants to take the lead and activate his network to restore the Atlantic Forest in his second home: Brazil.
Why is it important to save the Atlantic Forest?
The great Atlantic Forest that stretched more than 3,300 km along the Atlantic coast, rising from the sea level to 2,700 m of altitude – with patches in Paraguay and Argentina as well – is reduced to less than 15% of its original cover.
The Atlantic Forest in Brazil is the world’s most important ecosystem next to the Amazon forest – and the most deforested biome of Brazil.
That’s why Retopia, a partnership between Arne Quinze and Go Forest, is working hard to restore the Atlantic Forest. But we can’t do this alone. We need your donations.
5 reasons why you should donate to Retopia now!
Join us on our reforestation journey. Together, we’ll reconnect the fragmented pieces of the heterogeneous Atlantic Forest by conserving and creating forest corridors using different forest restoration methods. The ultimate goal is for the forest to become one again and nature will be able to grow freely, as it used to do, while benefiting local populations, fauna, and flora.
“I try to show people the beauty of nature so they realize that we must do everything possible to preserve it. We must do something now.”
