Protecting threatened areas
Since the Uakiry project is in the "Arc of Deforestation", the region with the highest historical rate of deforestation in the Amazon, its forests are under increasing threat. One important aspect is that conservation and monitoring costs can be prohibitive for landowners, especially in large, non-productive areas – Legal Reserves and Permanent Preservation Areas, for example. Therefore, the funds generated by the project can pay for these forest preservation and conservation actions.

Impact
Climate
787+ thousand tCO2e to be avoided between 2021 and 2027
Amount of carbon that is no longer released into the atmosphere by not illegally clearing an area of forest, equivalent to 1 year of emissions by the municipality of Palmas/TO (SEEG 2023)
Community
70+ families benefited*
*Benefits in the same area of influence as the Brazilian Amazon project
- Digital inclusion: installation of repeater towers and internet points in schools
- Technical Assistance and Rural Extension: courses, workshops and lectures on good agricultural practices
- Female empowerment: creation of women's groups and promotion of female empowerment
- Health: traveling campaigns for medical and dental care
- Education: renovation and computerization of schools
Biodiversity
482 animal species monitored
202 are endemic
11 are threatened with extinction
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.
