Aflora Mangue
The Aflora Mangue Project aims to restore a total of 47 hectares of mangrove forest. By the end of 2025, more than 10,000 seedlings had been planted across approximately 4.5 hectares along the shores of Mundaú Lagoon, in the Riacho do Silva region and in the Bom Parto area.
A new planting phase has begun in the Santa Rita Environmental Protection Area (APA Santa Rita), within the Mundaú-Manguaba Estuarine-Lagoon Complex. Seven thousand seedlings have already been planted in the area.
Planting in Flexal
Around 6,800 seedlings of native mangrove and Atlantic Forest species have been planted in a 3-hectare area near Riacho do Silva, in Flexal.
Mangrove seedlings were produced from propagules (parts of the plant used to grow a new plant). Atlantic Forest seedlings were sourced from a certified nursery.
Before planting, the soil undergoes a “rest” period to receive nutrients brought in by tidal water movement. Invasive vegetation is removed, and the area is fenced to protect the seedlings from domestic exotic animals.
Seedlings are then planted in the designated area.
After planting, the maintenance phase begins, which includes controlling invasive species and replacing seedlings that did not develop successfully. During this phase, monitoring is also carried out to assess plant growth.
Mangrove fauna is also monitored.
Environmental education initiatives are developed within the local community.
The new vegetation includes mangrove species (red, black, and white) as well as Atlantic Forest species (such as ipês and jatobás).
Planting in Bom Parto
Approximately 3,500 native mangrove seedlings were planted across 1.41 hectares along the shores of Mundaú Lagoon, in Bom Parto.
The seedlings were grown at the project’s forest nursery, from propagules collected in preserved mangroves near the area.

Mangrove fauna is also monitored.
Professionals work to control invasive vegetation and replace any plants that failed to thrive.
Planting in the APA Santa Rita
Approximately 60,000 seedlings will be planted across a 25-hectare area in the APA Santa Rita, within the Mundaú-Manguaba Estuarine-Lagoon Complex. Seven thousand seedlings have already been planted in the region, covering an area of 2.62 hectares.
Seedlings produced in the project's forest nursery from propagules (the part of the plant used to grow a new one), collected from preserved mangroves near the area.
The soil undergoes a hydrological restoration process and a "resting" period to absorb nutrients.
The seedlings are planted in the area.
After planting, the maintenance phase begins, with control of exotic species and replacement of seedlings that failed to develop. During this phase, monitoring is also carried out to assess plant growth.
The mangrove wildlife is also monitored.
Learn About Mangrove Types
Mangroves play a crucial role in supporting aquatic and terrestrial wildlife, serving as nurseries for various species and protecting river and lake banks from erosion. Preserving these ecosystems is essential for maintaining environmental balance and sustaining local communities.
