It was recognized as one of the largest urban park community organization in Brazil, the Parque Ibirapuera Conservação has provided aid to support Ibirapuera Park including the Reading Grove restoration,[6][7] irrigation systems, research and conservation actions, volunteer engagement,[8] and interpretive programs.[9] The organisation worked was possible through the support of its members and donors, contributions from foundations, businesses, and individuals.
The organization follows the steps and the earlier governance model of Central Park Conservancy,[10] when it also engaged the parks neighborhood into a local pioneering project to professionalize urban park stewardship through civil society, and to serve as model to other urban parks and public open spaces. As Parque Ibirapuera Conservação sought international[11] management models for caring of public spaces, it also functioned as a local knowledge hub for urban parks in Brazil when provided assistance and guidance to parks friends groups.
In 2017, Ibirapuera Park entered into the municipal concession program,[12] and the Parque Ibirapuera Conservação members are advocated for better governance and more transparency[13][14] so that no matter what model the municipality adopted for its parks, the control should remain public.
