Description

The Ecomapuá Amazon REDD Project is a conservation project located on Marajó Island, Pará State, in Brazil's Eastern Amazon region. The Marajó várzea is a crucial ecosystem, making this project especially significant. The project's primary goal is to prevent the unplanned deforestation of an 86,269.84ha area within a private property owned by Ecomapuá Conservação Ltda. Key Highlights: - The project will avoid the unplanned deforestation of 86,269.84ha of a valuable ecosystem. - Predicted net reductions of 4,253.14ha of deforestation and 2,170,138 tCO2e emissions will be achieved over the 30-year project lifetime (01/01/2003 – 31/12/2032). - The project will allocate a portion of the carbon credits generated towards improving social and environmental conditions for local communities. - Marajó Island is classified as "extremely high" priority for preservation by the Brazilian Environment Ministry ("MMA"). - The Ecomapuá Amazon REDD Project contributes to national conservation goals and encourages further conservation efforts in the region. By preventing the deforestation of this valuable ecosystem, the Ecomapuá Amazon REDD Project achieves significant environmental benefits. The project's predicted net reductions of deforestation and emissions over the 30-year project lifetime are considerable. Moreover, the project's allocation of carbon credits towards improving social and environmental conditions for local communities is an admirable effort towards sustainability. Given Marajó Island's "extremely high" priority for preservation, the Ecomapuá Amazon REDD Project contributes to national conservation goals and promotes further conservation efforts in the region.
