The Paraná Coast is home to some of Brazil’s richest Atlantic Forest ecosystems, and it is the natural landscape that surrounds the Ilha do Mel Nativo project in Pontal do Sul. This coastal region hosts unique wildlife, native stingless bees and sensitive mangrove areas, making it a strategic environment for conservation, environmental education and sustainable community engagement.
