About the Program
The Centro de Treinamento Bayer Uberlândia, also known as the Uberlândia Training Center, is located in the Uberlândia municipality of the southern Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. The training center encompasses almost 300 acres of Brazil’s second largest biome, known as the cerrado. This savanna environment is a global biodiversity hotspot, yet it is also one of the most threatened by human activity such as agriculture. Efforts are underway at the site to support the needs of different species native to the cerrado through intentional plantings and addition of features to the landscaped areas of the site.

Practices and Impacts
- Bird nest structures are installed on-site, and monitoring is conducted annually. Nest structures that have not been used are relocated, and damaged nest structures are removed.
- Bee hotels were installed in 2022 to attract and support a wide range of native, solitary bee species, with the end goal of supporting these pollinators for the benefit of nearby agricultural areas as well. The bee structures are monitored for use.
