Over 300 species of wildlife have been identified in orange farms in São Paulo and Southwest Minas Gerais/Triângulo Mineiro. Notable mammals include pumas, ocelots, monkeys, maned wolves, and coatis. Among birds, 268 species have been found, some threatened with extinction like the aracuan, bare-faced curassow, and chestnut-bellied seed-finch. This biodiversity study was conducted by Embrapa Territorial and Fundecitrus, and funded by the Farmer Innovation Fund of the UK-based company Innocent Drinks.

An orange tree can store over 100 kg of carbon, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change. Brazil, the world's largest orange producer, stores 8 million tons of carbon in citrus orchards within São Paulo and Southwest Minas Gerais/Triângulo Mineiro. Additionally, 160,000 hectares of native vegetation are maintained on farms. Together, these areas contribute to a total carbon stock of 36 million tons, equivalent to preventing 133 million tons of CO2 emissions. This research is a result of a collaboration between Embrapa Territorial and the Fund for Citrus Protection (Fundecitrus), funded by the Farmer Innovation Fund of the UK-based company Innocent Drinks.
