 # Raizes do Mogi Guaçu: International Paper Talks Forest Restoration with WWF for a Better Future

  Campaign:  [International Paper | HEALTHY & ABUNDANT FORESTS](/news/campaign/international-paper-healthy-abundant-forests)  ![](/sites/default/files/styles/carousel_2x/public/images/IP-WWF_0734.jpg) 

In 2018, International Paper joined forces with World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to begin creating the first ever [science-based targets for forests](https://www.worldwildlife.org/stories/international-paper-and-wwf-join-forces-to-help-create-first-ever-science-based-targets-for-forests-and-scale-up-forest-restoration-in-brazil). These targets will identify what quantity and quality of forestland is needed for the planet, people, animals and plants to thrive. Part of that project includes a native forest restoration initiative in the Mogi Guaçu River basin within the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. This on-the-ground work, called “Raizes do Mogi Guaçu” (“Mogi Guaçu Roots”), aims to restore at least 100 hectares, or nearly 250 acres, of native forests in a region with low forest coverage and a high risk of water shortages.

Earlier this year, Matt Inbusch, manager of natural capital stewardship, International Paper, joined WWF and some of his colleagues in Brazil for a visit to the Mogi Guaçu river basin, where they had the opportunity to meet landowner partners in the Raizes do Mogi Guaçu program.

Through WWF’s [Sustainability Works](https://www.worldwildlife.org/blogs/sustainability-works/posts/raizes-do-mogi-guacu-international-paper-talks-forest-restoration-for-a-better-future) blog, Matt shares his insights on the unique program and describes how International Paper values collaboration to build a better future and achieve the company’s ambitious [Vision 2030 goals](http://www.internationalpaper.com/vision-2030).
