Our mission
Regenerate ecosystems and restore the relationship between people and nature by researching, testing, and implementing bold, non-linear solutions to the planet's most urgent challenges.

The Problem
More than 88% of the Atlantic Forest has disappeared, while millions of tonnes of plastic continue to pollute the landscapes that sustain life.
The Solution
We acquire and regenerate degraded lands, uniting them into living Green Corridors while developing open technologies that transform waste into community infrastructure.
The Strategy
We work with communities, researchers, universities, businesses, and governments to restore ecosystems, build circular economies, and create practical models for a regenerative future.
The Vision
We envision a future where regeneration becomes the new standard for human development. Healthy ecosystems, resilient communities, open science, regenerative technologies, and cultural renewal work together to create living systems that restore biodiversity, improve quality of life, and can be replicated across the world.

ActivitiesWhat We Do
We develop and test regenerative models that connect ecosystem restoration, science, local knowledge, art, education, and technology.
Through agroforestry, research, community collaboration, cultural exchange, and practical upcycling systems, we create solutions that restore forests and soils, strengthen local economies, and turn waste into useful materials and infrastructure.
Our work is designed to be open, adaptable, and replicable — so successful solutions can grow far beyond ALUME.
The Atlantic Forest is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. And one of the most destroyed.
More than 88%
of original cover lost to agriculture, cattle, and development
20,000+
plant species native to the biome — 8,000 found nowhere else on Earth
120 million people
depend on the Atlantic Forest as a source of freshwater
86%
remaining forest fragments are under 50 Ha
Planting trees in the Atlantic Forest is not symbolic. It is one of the highest-return ecological investments available anywhere in the world. The degradation is deep. The remaining fragments are critical.
Interesting fact: While the Amazon is often cited as the main climate driver, many climatologists believe that the Amazon Jungle, Atlantic Forest, and Cerrado work as a single moisture exchange system. The destruction of one biome gradually weakens the others. We are bringing impact on all of these biomes, seeing them as one. That is what ALUME is building.
Our Team
Many disciplines.One living mission.
A multidisciplinary team connecting governance, science, technology, education, and institutional development in service of regeneration.

“The forest taught us that healing is not a destination, but a way of being. In learning to listen to the plants, we remember how to listen to ourselves—and to each other.”
Tatiana KhokhFounder, President · ALUME Regenerative Institute
“We did not begin with a theory. We began with stagnant land degraded by monoculture. Today, we are experiencing how nourishing it feels to restore it—when wildlife returns and feeds on the same harvest that sustains us and the community around.”
Oleksii (Alexey) GoroshkoExecutive Director · ALUME Regenerative Institute
