  • Tijuca National Park in Rio de Janeiro was restored starting in the 1860s to address severe water crises caused by deforestation for coffee and sugarcane. Through a combination of active planting and passive recolonization, 3,200 hectares were restored, resulting in improved water supplies, air quality, and the reintroduction of numerous native species. The project succeeded due to strong leadership from the Brazilian Imperial Court, technical assistance from the Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro, and adaptive management to combat fire threats. However, the document notes that early restoration involved the expropriation of land and the use of slave labor.
