increasing biodiversity

etu & lori playing amongst flowers

We have updated a list of productive and useful plants species that can be found on the farm.

In green, the species that could be found on the land before PURAVIDA arrived , in blue the ones that have been added since, and in red those that we wish to introduce in the near future . Of course, in case you plan to come to visit, you are very welcome to add to the diversity and bring more seeds or seedlings with you.

The list doesn’t include the many native plants of the Mata Atlantica , and we wish that a good survey of our 90 Ha of rainforest  will be subject to an educational project soon.

The list shows names in different languages as well as few links to external images or databases for further info.
