In 2010 the Breathe Foundation in conjunction with local NGO the Atlantic Rainforest Institute (AFRI) implemented a reforestation project with support of a grant from the European Outdoor Conservation Association.
The grant was fundamental to the ability of the foundation to engage in direct reforestation, the construction of the AFRI Institute building using recycled materials and the implementation of education and management programs.
