Transforming landscapes and communities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over more than 40 years, Ibiti has transformed more than 6,000 hectares of degraded land in the Atlantic Forest into a biodiversity refuge. The rewilding<\/em> has already reintroduced endangered species such as the jacutinga and is still working on reintroducing the northern muriqui, <\/strong>as well as developing initiatives aimed at the return of other animals, such as the tapir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the regeneration is not just ecological. More than 300 people work on the project, in ventures such as hotels, restaurants, bicycles and tourism experiences, strengthening the local economy and promoting community empowerment. An emblematic example is Vila Mogol, which has been reborn as a vibrant village for locals and guests, demonstrating that regenerating a community is just as important as restoring nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regenerative hospitality in action<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The article emphasizes that staying at Ibiti is more than a tourist experience: it's entering a living system, where visitors and locals share spaces, meals and everyday moments. In this environment, connections, respect and collaboration emerge, making the social and ecological impact part of each guest's experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicola Gryczka Kirsch was in Ibiti in August 2025, immersed in the project to study ways of implementing a model of membership<\/em> and develop a replicable model of regenerative hospitality. His visit reinforces Ibiti's vision as a living laboratory for innovation in sustainable tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ibiti model can be replicated in other destinations, as long as there is a commitment to long-term care, genuine collaboration and clear principles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
