Promoting Environmental Conservation

Floresta & Carbono, a C3 Ambiental program, emerged from the need to protect native vegetation in Brazil as a measure to mitigate the climate crisis faced worldwide. With recent projections of rising global temperatures, maintaining natural forests is crucial and urgent so that we can guarantee the quality of life of Brazilians and the survival of future generations.

In light of this new scenario, rural producers can play a decisive role. It is estimated that today, in Brazil, around 53% of native vegetation cover is found within rural properties, corresponding to more than 300 million hectares of forests. Furthermore, 21 million hectares of forests could be recovered by simply complying with environmental requirements regarding Permanent Preservation Areas (APP) and Legal Reserves (RL).

But even with all the importance of rural producers, especially small farmers, there is still a lack of support for environmental conservation actions on their lands, and that is where Floresta & Carbono comes in to change this situation. Our socio-environmental projects are dedicated to promoting the conservation of ecosystems and mitigating the impacts of climate change, valuing the fundamental role of rural producers in preserving the environment through Payment for Environmental Services (PES) via forest carbon.

With an innovative approach, we design and develop grouped forest conservation projects, considering the characteristics of each Brazilian biome, sequestering and storing carbon from the atmosphere, and promoting the democratization of access to the carbon market, enabling the inclusion of small landowners in the projects.

Valuing Environmental Services

We promote the remuneration of environmental service providers, encouraging nature conservation and carbon sequestration through Payment for Environmental Services (PES) via forest carbon credits.

Social Development

We work on the social development of rural communities, providing alternative income to landowners for the environmental services provided and contributing to improving the quality of life in the countryside.

6. Socio-environmental projects (1).jpeg

We design and develop socio-environmental projects that promote the involvement of local communities in the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources through courses and training; our initiatives aim not only to protect the environment, but also to improve the living conditions of the populations involved.

Generation and Trading of Carbon Credits

We offer carbon credit generation and trading services, creating the opportunity for people and companies to offset their carbon emissions through our forest conservation projects.

Generation and Trading of Carbon Credits

We assist landowners in designing, developing and managing forest carbon projects tailored to their specific conservation and sustainability needs and objectives.

Potential for carbon sequestration and

environmental services from natural forests

On private property:

  • 38.9 million ha of native forests

Brazil's commitment at COP26:

  • Restore 18 million ha by 2030;

  • Recover 30 million ha of pasture;

  • 30% reduction in methane emissions.
