Brazil's Biodiversity and Forest Sector

The video highlights Brazil's significant biodiversity, with 20% of the world's species. The forestry sector plays a crucial role in conservation by planting trees for various products, reducing deforestation, and integrating plantations with natural forests. These efforts help in ecological restoration, water regulation, and carbon storage.
