Description
The Envira Amazonia Project: Protecting the Rainforest in Brazil The Envira Amazonia Project is a REDD+ project located in the State of Acre, Brazil that is designed to protect up to 200,000 hectares of tropical rainforest. This project has been certified by both VCS and CCBS, which ensures its quality and effectiveness. Key Highlights: - The project aims to preserve rich biodiversity and maintain a wide range of ecosystem services. - It provides direct benefits to local communities, such as job opportunities and sustainable livelihoods. - The project also mitigates the release of ~12.6 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions over the first 10 years of the Project. This project is important because it not only combats climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but also protects the Amazon rainforest. The Amazon rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world and is home to thousands of plant and animal species. By protecting this rainforest, we are preserving an important natural resource for future generations. Additionally, the project provides direct benefits to local communities by creating job opportunities and promoting sustainable livelihoods.
