Pacajai REDD+ Project
The Pacajai REDD+ project is located in the state of Para in Brazil. It comprises 166,000 hectares of biodiverse Amazonian forest and aims to protect this ecosystem. The Pacajai REDD+ project also works closely with the local Riverine people who are settled within the project area and depend on the forest for their livelihoods by securing land tenure rights, protecting the forest from external interference.
Along with its positive environmental impact, the project aims to enable the local people by improving their standard of living through better health care, education, infrastructure, and sustainable agroforestry practices. The project also includes the Climate, Community & Biodiversity (CCB) certification, a testament to its impact on social and environmental sustainability.
