The Black Jaguar project aims to create a large 2,600 km long ecological corridor in Brazil in the Araguaia river basin, to connect the Amazon rainforest and the Cerrado savanna. The Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor aspires to become one of the longest natural corridors on the planet and the largest rewilding project in South America.
During 2023, Fondazione Capellino, after an assessment of the main reforestation projects in Brazil, made the decision to support the Black Jaguar project alongside the Instituto Black Jaguar (a foundation under Brazilian law) not as a sterile project sponsor, but as a co-leader who ensures - in addition to the support of field activities - primarily the transparency of the work, as well as the control, the collection of data, and above all a role of responsibility to ensure that the ambitious objectives in the medium and long term are concretely achievable.
The Foundation has taken responsibility, from 1 July 2023 until today, to guarantee at its own expense all the activities to verify the correctness and transparency of the Foundation's operations conducted by the Instituto Black Jaguar.
- From 1 January 2024, faced with the findings of the Control Commission mentioned above, we had to suspend our contribution and participation to the project activities.
Instituto Black Jaguar is a non-profit organization under Brazilian law, which works for the reforestation of the Amazon rainforest and the Cerrado savannah, in Brazil.
