Overview
The RESEX RIO PRETO-JACUNDÁ project, led by Biofílica Investimentos Ambientais S.A., is a collaborative effort with the residents of Resex Rio Preto-Jacundá, represented by local associations and organizations. Situated in the extractive reserve of the same name in the municipalities of Machadinho D’Oeste and Cujubim, northeastern Rondônia, Brazil, the project covers a territory of 95 thousand hectares. Established in 1996, the reserve has a rich history of advocating for the rights of rubber tappers and promoting sustainable land management practices. The project aims to enhance the sustainability of the extractive community by mitigating forest degradation and preventing unplanned and illegal deforestation, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions. These objectives are achieved through various activities funded by the sale of carbon credits generated from the project's efforts.
Environmental impact
The project contributes significantly to climate action by preventing deforestation and forest degradation, which helps preserve vital ecosystems and biodiversity.
