Amazon Reforestation Project, Inc.

Albert George of Savannah has teamed up with billionaire environmentalist Dr. Francisco Ritta Bernardino to make economic sense of Amazon reforestation.  George and Bernardino launched the Amazon Reforestation Project to put locals to work planting trees on Bernardino’s 2.4 million acres of land in the Amazon rainforest.  The locals are often driven to illegal logging to generate income due to lack of other employment opportunities.  The Amazon Reforestation Project provides an alternative to illegal logging as a profession while reforesting the Amazon one tree at a time.  Read more about the Amazon Reforestation Project, Inc. and Albert George in the Savannah Morning News.
