This project aims to protect up to 200,000 ha of tropical rainforest in the Brazilian State of Acre. Conservation of the forest will mitigate the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, with the project aiming to generate greenhouse gas emission reductions of around 12.6 million tCO2e over the first 10 years. The large-scale project will protect the rich biodiversity and ecosystem services of the area. In addition, it seeks to generate opportunities for the local comunities to improve livelihoods.
