Storyline: A Brazilian ecological park has launched a campaign to save endangered plant species, exemplifying the country's efforts to regreen logged-out areas of the Atlantic Forest. The Atlantic Forest, one of the most ecologically-diverse ecosystems on Earth, stretches across Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. In recent years, due to deforestation and other reasons, the Atlantic Forest has been severely damaged and thousands of tree species have been listed as endangered species. In Ekoa Park in Morretes, the state of Parana, Brazil, jucara palm is on display at a noticeable place. The palm, which is native to the Atlantic Rainforest, has been illegally harvested for its delicious heart of palm, or Palmito. As part of the efforts to save jucara palm and other endangered plant species, Ekoa Park has cooperated with environmental protection organizations and enterprises to launch a themed project, under which a team of experts regularly enters the forest to collect seeds of about 50 endangered trees. The team will then cultivate the collected seeds, and when the seedlings meet the conditions for transplanting, they will be distributed to 200 registered volunteers to plant across multiple locations. Before planting a seedling, volunteers will write down information about the tree on a piece of paper and leave it right at where the seedling is planted. After planting it, volunteers will record the location and other information on a mobile app. So far, under the project, nearly 6,800 seedlings have been distributed to volunteers to plant across the states of Parana, Santa Catarina and Sao Paulo.

SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Victor Paul Lynette, forestry engineer (partially overlaid with shots 11-12): "We go into the forest and identify these trees, which is not easy, mainly because they are endangered and there are not many individuals. Once identified, we tag them with GPS. Then we store all the coordinates of these trees in a database and check the registered areas once a month to collect seeds." [SHOTS OVERLAYING SOUNDBITE] 11.
