BioCER Carbon is a socio-environmental project for forest conservation and biodiversity protection in the Cerrado Biome, which promotes the appreciation of rural producers and traditional communities through payment for environmental services using forest carbon credits.
In addition to contributing to mitigating the damage caused by global warming, the project has democratized the carbon market by including landowners, especially small rural producers, in a market that is not very accessible and has strict rules.
In a context of intense environmental degradation of natural areas, where forests are converted into pastures and agriculture, the appreciation of people who conserve areas covered by forests is essential and urgent for the maintenance and protection of biodiversity and the promotion of various associated ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration. And BioCER Carbon recognizes and values the role of each rural producer who protects their forest and provides environmental services for the entire planet!
Why the Cerrado?
The Cerrado is one of the most important forests in the world because it is a biodiversity hotspot, that is, it is home to a large number of animal and plant species that only occur there (and nowhere else in the world), and which has already lost much of its original vegetation. Today, the Cerrado has less than 54% native vegetation coverage, and only 19.8% remains unchanged, deserving attention in environmental conservation programs.
This project:
preserves fragments of native forests
protects the biodiversity of the Cerrado
stimulates the regeneration of native forests
encourages the environmental adequacy of Permanent Preservation Areas and Legal Reserves
empowers landowners to use land more sustainably
inserts environmental service providers into the carbon market
provides alternative income for those who protect nature
