Mãos na Mata Program

The preservation of reservoir edges is much more than a legal obligation for AES Brasil. Through Mãos na Mata, in partnership with SOS Mata Atlântica, we promote reforestation activities and actions through the establishment of partnerships with other organizations. In this program, we assign the planting area, the seedlings and the management expertise of our environmental technicians and count on the investments of our partners to multiply the scale and the positive impacts in the recovery areas.

Mãos na Mata aims to conserve flora by helping to supply groundwater and minimizing erosion and silting up of reservoirs. The success of the initiative is guaranteed by the Hands on Forest Program, which works with surrounding communities in forest restoration and supports projects to restore springs and other Permanent Preservation Areas in the hydrographic basins where the reservoirs of our plants are located.
