  • Suzano connected 214,368 hectares of native forest across the Atlantic Forest, Cerrado, & Amazon biomes by establishing ecological corridors within four years.
  • In 2025 alone, 55,366 hectares of native forest were connected, advancing the company's goal to link 500,000 hectares by 2030.
  • The initiative restores vegetation & stimulates wildlife movement by designing corridors along the shortest routes to support species dispersal & genetic diversity.
  • Regional efforts include connecting fragments between Bahia & Espírito Santo in the Atlantic Forest, enhancing connectivity in Mato Grosso do Sul's Cerrado region, & protecting the Amazon's Arc of Deforestation.
  • The company created the Natural Heritage Private Reserve (RPPN) Nova Descoberta, a 5,800-hectare reserve in Maranhão that links to the Gurupi Mosaic.
  • The project utilizes a collaborative model engaging local communities, rural landowners, civil society, & external funders to restore land owned by Suzano & third parties.
  • The Corredor da Mata program partners with iNovaland to implement forest restoration & agroforestry systems for regional rural development.
  • Suzano's 2025 Nature Strategy, developed with the IUCN & guided by STAR methodology, focuses on reducing extinction risks for endangered species.
  • Monitoring in corridor areas has recorded 97 endangered species, including the hook-billed hermit, Kaapori capuchin, & giant armadillo.
  • Detailed progress on these environmental & social commitments is documented in Suzano's 2025 Sustainability Report.
