Febraban Podcast #15 - O Novo Mercado de Restauração Florestal

During National Environment Week, the new episode of the Febraban Podcast discusses the role of forest restoration in building a sustainable future. Far beyond simply planting trees, this technique is becoming one of the pillars of the new nature-based economy, connecting biodiversity, climate, regional development, and the financial market. This week, we discuss how the sector is scaling up in Brazil and worldwide, driven by agendas such as decarbonization, carbon credits, and new financial instruments focused on environmental conservation. With the advancement of global biodiversity targets and international events such as the Conference on Biodiversity 2026, COP 17, approaching – between October 19th and 30th in Yerevan, Armenia – efforts are intensifying to transform commitments into concrete action. Based on the experience of those on the front lines of the projects, this episode shows how ecological restoration has evolved from an environmental obligation to an economic opportunity with real impact. In this episode, you will understand: Why restoration goes beyond traditional reforestation How this market connects to carbon credits and sustainable finance Which business models are enabling large-scale projects Scale Brazil's role as a powerhouse in nature-based solutions Why restoring forests is also investing in people, climate, and biodiversity With Mariana Barbosa (Re.green) and Renato Rosenberg (Brazilian Forest Service), in conversation with Mona Dorf (Febraban).
