Brazil is the country of forests. When it stopped being a Portuguese colony and reached independence in 1822, the approximately 4.5 million inhabitants still had a green ocean to live with. As in the rest of the world, population and economic growth occurred from territorial expansion and exploitation of natural resources. The path to prosperity took place at the expense of the native vegetation that covered the landscape. The country has grown and developed, with a population of over 200 million people, vibrant cities and agriculture, cutting-edge industries, and has earned its place among the world's leading economies. The world, however, is no longer the same. The development model of the past brought degradation, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, pollution, water deficit and climate change caused by global warming. The future requires efficiency, innovation, inclusion, fairness and resilience to climate change. In the case of Brazil, the time has come to restore forests and natural ecosystems. Reconciling agricultural production with the conservation of natural resources and social inclusion will bring economic, social and environmental gains to Brazil. One of the paths is the recovery of millions of hectares of degraded land, through the planting of native trees of economic value and agroforestry systems, which generate jobs and good profitability in rural areas, in addition to contributing to food and water security. Brazil already has plans and laws capable of stimulating a new forest economy that arouses more and more interest from investors. What is the way for more rural producers to benefit from this potential and make the goal of restoring and reforesting 12 million hectares of forests and degraded areas a reality by 2030? The Soares family, Bruno, Silvany, Patrick and the couple Emerson and Viviane show how they are making the restoration happen, overcoming challenges and bottlenecks, renewing the landscape and their life stories. They are the Faces of Restoration.
