Chafa has particularly focused on endemic species critical for maintaining the region's ecological balance, such as the often overexploited Pau-Brasil, the tree that lent Brazil its name. Their reforestation work relies on community support and donations, aiming to counter the pressures of agriculture and logging.

Meanwhile, researchers at the IAS Waldau University for Sustainable Development are leading a charge against forest threats posed by climate change and pests. By using technology such as drones and sensors to monitor environmental conditions, researchers strive to gain insight into the state of forests and identify effective solutions.
