Parana Rainforest Restoration

Reducing logging and regenerating native forests in Misiones, Argentina

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Preventing deforestation and regenerating biodiversity in perpetuity for the benefit of local communities and the native ecosystem

Located in the north eastern province of Misiones, in San Pedro, Argentina, the field of native forest where the project is located has 22,878.5 hectares and is immersed in a Green Corridor. Historically controlled logging has been carried out in this area since the 1960s with logging now significantly reduced as a result of the project and will continue to decrease as the project progresses. The project activity is Improved Forest Management with areas that will be enriched and regenerated by planting over 250,000 native species annually to increase forest productivity and biodiversity and control the uncontrolled expansion of Bambuceas and other monocultures which are not native to this region.

 

The climate benefits of the project include the reductions or removals of GHG emissions resulting from forest regeneration, these are expected to reach 3,106,582 tCO2e during the crediting period, averaging 103,553 tCO2e per year. The community benefits of the project include improvements in the well-being of communities resulting from the project activities in place. The biodiversity benefits of the project are aimed at regeneration and increasing the population of native species.

Indigenous & Community Impact

Community Stakeholders – Mbya Guaraní community (Tekoa Alecrin)

The surrounding rural areas outside the project area (Cruce Caballero, Tobuna, Alegría and Piñeiro), is home to one of the 5 indigenous villages that live in the department of San Pedro, Misiones. These are the original Mbyá-Guarani people, who have a large presence in this area of the Misiones forest. Traditionally, the Mbyá-Guaraní have developed a way of life linked to the forest, both in material, social and spiritual terms which the restoration aims to support. The indigenous communities in the project area of Tekoa Alecrín have been a part of the consultation process and have influenced the design of the projects to ensure they are not negatively affected.
