Uberlândia, MG preserves river basin biodiversity with Buriti seedling program

Uberlândia, MG Buriti River Basin Biodiversity Seedling

The city's Department of Water and Sewage collects native seedlings from recovered springs in rural areas. Nine thousand seedlings from 12 plant species were planted at the municipal nursery for germination. Municipal employees fence off permanent preservation areas and transplant nursery plants at no cost to participating landowners. Uberlândia protects native species, decreases planting costs, and educates the public about the environment through Buriti.
