Forest Carbon Restoration – Brazil Amazon

Project Overview

The Forest Carbon Restoration – Brazil Amazon project focuses on restoring degraded and deforested land within the Amazon biome, one of the world’s most important carbon sinks. Historical land-use pressures have resulted in forest loss, biodiversity decline, and increased greenhouse gas emissions.

The project applies a combination of assisted natural regeneration and targeted reforestation using native species to rebuild forest structure and ecological function. Restoration activities are aligned with long-term conservation planning and regional land-use strategies.

Methodology & Implementation

Certified under Verra VCS ARR, the project includes native species planting, protection of natural regrowth, fire prevention measures, and controls against illegal logging. Carbon stocks are monitored using field-based biomass assessments, satellite imagery, and remote sensing tools.

Carbon Removal

• Long-term sequestration in above- and below-ground biomass
• Reduced deforestation and degradation risks
• High permanence supported by legal land protection

Environmental & Social Co-Benefits

The project restores wildlife habitat, improves watershed stability, and enhances regional climate resilience. Local communities benefit from employment, capacity-building, and participation in long-term forest stewardship programs.

SDGs Alignment

The project contributes to SDGs 13 and 15, supporting climate mitigation and ecosystem conservation.
