Amazonas

Grouped Project

The Amazonas Grouped Project is an initiative aimed at forest conservation in surplus Legal Reserve areas of private properties located in the state of Amazonas (Brazil).

This is a Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) project, in the category of avoided planned deforestation (APD), registered on the Verra platform under ID 4850.

Clear and Indisputable

A REDD+ APD project basically consists of preventing the clearing of areas that are legally authorized for vegetation suppression. The landowners waive the right to use these areas for agriculture or livestock and commit to keeping them conserved for 40 years.

Secure and verifiable basis

Safeguarded from the complexity of the baseline of REDD AUD projects, as well as ongoing methodological changes, the Brazilian Amazon project provides a consistent and robust baseline, with solid and transparent additionality.

REDD+ APD projects are able to effectively highlight the real intent of deforestation and provide a secure and verifiable baseline, unaffected by the current REDD+ methodological updates underway at Verra.

Impact

Climate

9.6+ million tCO₂e to be avoided between 2020 and 2032

Amount of carbon that is not released into the atmosphere by not legally clearing an area of forest, equivalent to 1 year of emissions by the state of Rio Grande do Norte (SEEG 2023).

Biodiversity

354 animal species being monitored

145 endemic species
14 threatened species
(CR/EN/VU - IUCN Red List)

In addition to preserving the habitat, surveying and monitoring the fauna and flora in the project areas generates knowledge about the diversity and geographical distribution of species in areas that have never been surveyed before, as well as identifying endemic and endangered species.

Contribution to the SDGs

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

Guaranteed results

The Amazonas Project is registered to the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and Climate, Community and Biodiversity (CCB), audited annually by an independent Verra-accredited institution.

“I recommend brCarbon to other producers. With the price of beef today, one of the best solutions is to produce in a sustainable way, while preserving the forest, and I'm not afraid to recommend brCarbon to anyone because I believe it will be a great solution for us, cattle ranchers.”

“I am a supporter of both the company and the way it is conducting the process: serious, transparent, involvement of the surrounding community, independent evaluations and audits. We're pleased with it and the projections and calculations are very attracting. Today it is more profitable to keep the forest preserved than to raise cattle in the same area.”
