each Brazilian to plant a tree” says Yara that since 1992 works with
environmental projects in BPW. The project has the support of the President of
the Republic, Governmental authorities as well as NGOs. Tree is life has been
first launched in Cuiabá by Sueli Batista and Eliana Motta during CONFAM and in
