Amazon Day: learn about the initiative to preserve 1.5 million hectares of forest
In three years, between 2022 and 2025, the goal is to go from 150,000 hectares of preserved Amazon rainforest today to 1.5 million hectares, or 10 times the current amount. This is the challenge launched on Monday, September 5, Amazon Day, by climate tech brCarbon, a company that operates in the carbon market and has plans to establish a presence in the nine states of the Legal Amazon.
Company expands operations to preserve forests
Over the next three years, brCarbon (brC) intends to expand its operations in eight states in the Legal Amazon, conserving 1.5 million hectares and benefiting more than 500 traditional riverside families.

A project to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Agriculture is the second largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in Brazil: 27% of the total. But with the technologies that have been developed, this scenario could change. To find out more, let’s talk to Bruno Matta, CEO of brCarbon.
The crypto dilemma of CO2 credits
The tokens arrived with the promise of making the voluntary carbon market more efficient. Are they doing their job? “It’s up to buyers to identify the best projects,” says Bruno Brazil. “At the table of adults, they don’t just want to know about carbon. They want to know about the quality of that carbon and also how the money is going to transform people’s lives.”
Brazil is experiencing a carbon market boom and the world is gaining from it
We’ve heard for a long time that standing forests don’t make money. This has changed dramatically with the generation of carbon credits for rural producers through the conservation of forest areas within their properties. Today, in addition to the environmental gain, keeping the surplus reserve required by law standing is transformed into a financial result for landowners.
Fighting Amazon Deforestation
In the July 20, 2022 episode of the Radio Trans Mundial program, Renan Kamimura, Technical Director of brCarbon, presents the current picture of the Amazon rainforest, the consequences of deforestation and the actions needed to tackle it. These include actions taken by the private sector, such as better land use and conservation of the standing forest through carbon projects.
The advance of deforestation in the Amazon is worrying
The future of the Amazon is worrying as the rate of deforestation increases. How can this reality be changed? The road is still long, but with the help of drones, brCarbon is seeking to reverse this situation and combat global warming, enabling rural landowners to receive credits for conserving the standing forest.
