Overview
Situated in Acre, Brazil, the Envira Amazonia Project spans over 39,000 hectares of vital tropical forest. With a primary goal of preventing deforestation and degradation, this project serves as a crucial buffer against the encroachment of large-scale cattle ranching and agriculture into the adjacent Amazon Rainforest. Through its strategic location and conservation efforts, the project aims to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and protect the habitat of endangered species like the Red Howler Monkey and Giant Anteater.
Environmental impact
The Envira Amazonia Project makes significant contributions to climate change mitigation by preventing the release of over 12.5 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions during its initial 10-year crediting period. By preserving standing rainforests and halting deforestation activities, the project helps sequester carbon and maintain the ecological integrity of the Amazon region. Additionally, the project safeguards critical habitats for diverse flora and fauna, thereby promoting biodiversity conservation and ecosystem resilience.
Certification
The Envira Amazonia Project has obtained certification under prestigious standards such as Verra and CCB, ensuring adherence to rigorous environmental and social criteria. Through third-party validation and verification processes, the project demonstrates transparency and accountability in its operations. By meeting the stringent requirements of these certification bodies, the project upholds its commitment to environmental integrity, community engagement, and sustainable land management practices. This certification underscores the Envira Amazonia Project's role as a model for responsible forest conservation and climate action in the Amazon basin.
