| dc.description | Brazil is home to the greatest biodiversity on the planet. Around 20% of the world's biodiversity is found here due to territorial extension, its distinct biomes and favorable climate and soil conditions. One of the great allies of environmental conservation is the Brazilian forestry sector, which believes that the solution for the conservation of biodiversity must be aligned with economic development projects.<br /> The trees planted by the Brazilian forest sector are mainly found in previously degraded areas and integrated with natural forests in mosaic planting, creating ecological corridors that contribute to the conservation of biodiversity and serve as habitat for animals, plants and microorganisms.<br /> In order to demonstrate the sector's commitment to conservation of biodiversity The Brazilian Tree Industry (Ibá) gathered information about their associated companies’ projects and monitoring data. These initiatives date back to the early 1970s and it is notorious that this practice has intensified in recent years by the incresead awareness of the topic relevance by the companies, governments and society.<br /> The Brazilian forestry sector has six million hectares of protected natural areas and nine hectares of commercial plantations, which represents less than 2% of the Brazilian territory. The area occupied by the forestry sector, both for planting and for conservation purposes, has positive indexes of biodiversity. The forest companies provide shelter for more than 5790 species of fauna and flora in five different biomes (Amazon, Caatinga, Cerrado, Atlantic Forest and Pampa). Regarding threatened species, for example, 38% of mammals and 45% of birds are found in these areas.<br /> This are some few numbers found in biodiversity monitoring reinforcing the commitment of the Brazilian planted tree sector, and brings the idea that conserving the environmental and productivity is alighted.
