The tree that gave voice to the string section is facing extinction.
Deforestation in the Atlantic Forest has wreaked havoc on pernambuco trees, with 93% of the forest decimated. Many of the fragments that remain have been stripped of pernambuco by illegal logging for bows.
We are reconnecting with the forests that have sustained music, at a time when they desperately need our protection.
Please support the future of pernambuco and the Atlantic Forest with a donation.
