The Tourism RESET

Episode 6 Regeneration & Rewilding with Renato Machado

When my guest started to plant trees on his land, as part of a reforestation effort, the land dropped dramatically in value. In order to not only survive but thrive, the reserve transformed into a socio-environmental project which welcomes guests from around the world through tourism.

My guest is the incredible Renato Machado, founder and visionary of Ibiti project in Brazil. A blueprint for ecotourism, a conservation project with rural regeneration and reforestation at its heart.

In episode 6 discover…

  • How Ibiti has become one of Brazil’s leading rewilding success projects 
  • Renato’s conservation efforts to bring back the endangered spider monkeys 
  • Why the initial vision of creating a greenbelt around Ibitipoca Park didn’t work
  • Why two Muriquis monkeys hugged for a total of 2 hours and 15 minutes
