Ep#54: Keeping the world alive with Iracambi’s Binka LeBreton
A mid-life crisis. The Atlantic rainforest. And discovering what sustainability means and looks like. Today I talk with Binka, co-founder of Iracambi, a Brazilian organisation working to make the conservation of the Atlantic Rainforest more attractive than its destruction. We talk about what it looks like to save forests and change lives. We hear about the challenges of the last few years. But also, how TIE helped to propel Iracambi into huge growth in 2021. We talk about what’s next with TIE and Iracambi, and we get the inside scoop on Binka’s time at the summit of the Americas, where heads of state and global leaders talked about building a more sustainable future. Binka also let's us in on what gives her hope. But also what keeps her up at night. Lots here. So throw on those running shoes, or grab that favourite beverage, and here is Binka.
