BioMA Carbono is a socio-environmental project for forest conservation and biodiversity protection in the Atlantic Forest biome, which promotes the valorization 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 valorization 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. BioMA Carbon project recognizes and values the role of each rural producer who protects their forest and provides environmental services for the entire planet!
Why the Atlantic Forest?
The Atlantic Forest is one of the world's most crucial biomes, recognized as a biodiversity hotspot. This means it harbors an exceptional concentration of endemic species—plants and animals found nowhere else on Earth—yet has suffered extensive deforestation. Today, only 12.4% of its original native vegetation remains, making its conservation an urgent global priority.
The project:
-
preserves fragments of native forests
-
protects the biodiversity of the Atlantic Forest
-
stimulates the regeneration of native forests
-
encourages the environmental compliance with Permanent Preservation Areas and Legal Reserves
-
empowers landowners towards sustainable land use
-
inserts environmental service providers into the carbon market
-
provides alternative income for those who protect nature
