Restoring Declining Forests and Preserving Ecosystems
Environmental activities in the Americas to preserve the richness of nature for the future
Forests are irreplaceable. They absorb the carbon dioxide (CO2) we emit in our daily lives to reduce global warming, prevent landslides and floods, and purify water. These irreplaceable forests are rapidly disappearing due to various causes such as logging, land clearance, forest fires, and climate change.
Brother International Corporation (U.S.A.), together with Brother International Corporation (Canada) and Brother Group companies in Central and South America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru), is working together to conserve the environment with the Arbor Day Foundation, a forest conservation organization.

Rainforests are a treasure trove of life, and it is estimated that they are home to about half of all known species.
