Carbono Verde ARR Project

Reforesting and rebuilding biodiversity in the Brazilian Amazon

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The project’s goal is to reforest the degraded pasture in critical areas of the Amazon Biome, in Brazil.

The Amazon Reforestation Consortium project focuses on the reforestation of degraded pasture lands between critical forest areas. It is set up by a consortium of like minded groups that see the potential to reforest millions of hectares of the Amazon and help re-establish animal corridors to help rebuild the biodiversity that was lost during the last 40 years, when more than half of the eastern Amazon was deforested.

 

The project aims to reforest 39,150 hectares of degraded pasture in the Amazon Biome, with the goal of demonstrating the economic feasibility of reforestation in the Amazon through the sale of carbon credits that will encourage more investment in large scale reforestation projects. 

 

Prior to the current owner the land was mainly degraded forest, with no maintenance or cutting plans, the forest area is still considered to have a high threat of illegal logging which will be prevented as a result of the project.
