The objective of the project is to prevent the deforestation over 85’000-hectare area owned by Ecomapuá Conservação Ltda. Over a 30-year period (2003 to 2032), the project will result in 1’432’278 t. CO2e reductions in a subarea of 4’253 hectares.
In addition to preserving the forest, a portion of the revenue generated by the sale of emission certificates will be utilized to enhance the social and ecological conditions of the local population.
The Marajó island is a crucial priority for the Brazilian Ministry of Environment, and the Ecomapuá Amazon REDD project contributes to national nature conservation goals while also promoting further efforts to safeguard this invaluable ecosystem.
