Season 3 Episode 302 | 26m 46s

Across from All Saints’ Bay in Brazil, the region known as the Reconcavo supports a distinct culture and heritage with its dense palms, mangrove swamps, rivers and once-lush forests. Tropical islands along the coast became homes from the very affluent to humble fishing families. Visit a tire company taking on the challenge of preserving and restoring the once-great Mata Atlantica forest.
