Here at SARAVÁ we celebrate the Earth, every day because without it we would not have our organic and fresh ingredients! From our açaí that grows in the Brazilian Amazon to our fresh berries from North America. And even our beautiful and thriving garden wall that is in our Wilton Manors location. We work with Natures foodz who deliver us quality ingredients fresh from nature.
Here are some fun facts about the world's biggest rainforest and the home of the açaí palm:
The Amazon is estimated to have 16,000 tree species and 390 billion individual trees.
Nearly two-thirds of the Amazon rainforest is found in Brazil.
The Amazon is thought to have 2.5 million species of insects.
70 percent of South America's GDP is produced in areas that receive rainfall or water from the Amazon. The Amazon influences rainfall patterns as far away as the United States.
Cattle ranching accounts for roughly 70 percent of deforestation in the Amazon. :(
Deforestation in the Amazon rainforest was on a downward trend from 2004 to 2012, mostly due to the falling deforestation rate in Brazil. There are a variety of reasons for the decline, including macroeconomic trends, new protected areas and indigenous territories, improved law enforcement, deforestation monitoring via satellite, pressure from environmental groups, and private sector initiatives. But that trend has reversed since 2013, with deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon in 2021 reaching the highest level since 2008.
We must work together to protect our earth and celebrate it every day. Without it life will cease to exist.
