They have formed partnerships with other companies and the local government on projects for music and environmental education and are avid supporters of all preservation efforts of our natural resources, especially fighting the illicit trade of Pernambuco Wood.

The commitment of Arcos Brasil with the preservation of Pernambuco Wood is of immense proportions.

Arcos Brasil since its inception have planted 14,000 trees at our own private land, and distributed to Banco do Brasil, Indigenous tribes, Environmental department of City of Aracruz, INCAPES, Aracruz Celulose to mention a few, over 25,000 seedlings in 2004, over 60,000 seedlings in 2005, and already over 22,000 seedlings in the first quarter of 2006. The number of seedlings fluctuates in relation with the rainfall for the season. Long term is the key; the fruits of our efforts will only show results many decades in the future.
