A Biofílica, em parceria com o Grupo Jari, desenvolve dois projetos de carbono florestais nas áreas do grupo localizadas nos municípios de Laranjal do Jari, Vitória do Jari e Almerim, na divisa do estado do Pará com o Amapá. Enquanto o Projeto REDD+ Jari Pará, com área de 916 mil hectares, encontra-se na fase inicial de desenvolvimento, o Projeto REDD+ Jari Amapá, com área de 220 mil hectares, já verificou três safras (2011, 2012 e 2013) de créditos certificados pelo Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) e validados pelo Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standard (CCBS). O Projeto REDD+ Jari Amapá evita o desmatamento de mais de 11 mil hectares de floresta que seriam convertidos ao longo de 30 anos, e assim evita emissões na grandeza de 3,45 milhões tCO2e a atmosfera.

As vendas dos créditos de carbono florestais do Projeto REDD+ Jari Amapá tem sua remuneração revertida na promoção de agricultura familiar sustentável para 50 famílias de 8 comunidades da região do projeto. Desde o início do projeto áreas de pastagem e culturas agrícolas improdutivas deram lugar a Sistemas Agroflorestais mais eficientes e áreas de regeneração florestal, a partir do fornecimento de suporte técnico, elaboração de Planos de Uso das áreas, e acesso a insumos e equipamentos aos agricultores da região. Além disso, parte da receita dos créditos de carbono é investida em pesquisas científicas em biodiversidade: a área abriga pelo menos 2.800 espécies de flora e aproximadamente 2.000 espécies de fauna, sendo 150 destas ameaçadas de extinção. Este fato confere o nível ouro em biodiversidade do Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standard (CCBS) ao projeto.

Neste contexto, o dois Projetos REDD+ Jari fazem sobreposição com a Reserva Nacional do Cobre e seus Associados (RENCA). Esta área, com cerca de 4,6 milhões de hectares, teve recente notoriedade internacional devido ao temporário decreto emitido pelo presidente da república determinando a extinção da reserva mineral estatal com o objetivo de regularizar a exploração mineral na área por empresas do setor privado. Após discussões entre diferentes agentes da sociedade, o governo brasileiro decidiu revogar o decreto de extinção da RENCA.  Este acontecimento expos a notável riqueza de recursos naturais da área e fez surgir discussões sobre a sua exploração e seus prováveis impactos irreversíveis à biodiversidade local.

As iniciativas de REDD+ nesta região fazem contraponto a atividades de grande impacto ambiental, como a mineração, a partir da promoção da conservação florestal, reduzindo as emissões de gases de efeito estufa (GEE) e promovendo o desenvolvimento socioeconômico local sustentável, os quais valorizam a “floresta em pé” por meio do pagamento por serviços ambientais gerados pela redução do desmatamento e a degradação florestal.

Jari REDD+ Projects overlap the RENCA area and generate resources through standing forest conservation

Biofílica, in partnership with the Jari Group, develops two forest carbon projects in the areas of the group located in the cities of Laranjal do Jari, Vitória do Jari and Almerim, on the border of the state of Pará with Amapá. While the Jari Pará REDD+ Project, with an area of 916,000 hectares, is in the initial phase of development, the Jari Amapá REDD+ Project, with an area of 220,000 hectares, has already verified three vintages (2011, 2012 and 2013) of certified credits by the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and validated by the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standard (CCBS). The Jari Amapá REDD+ Project avoids the deforestation of more than 11,000 hectares of forest that would be converted over 30 years, thus it avoids emissions in the greatness of 3.45 million tCO2e to the atmosphere.

The sales of the forest carbon credits from Jari Amapá REDD+ Project have their remuneration reverted in promoting sustainable family agriculture to 50 families in 8 communities in the project region. Since the beginning of the project, pasture and unproductive crops areas were replaced to more efficient agroforestry systems and to forest regeneration, through the provision of technical support, elaboration of Land Use Plans and giving access to inputs and equipment to farmers. Furthermore, part of the carbon credits revenue is invested in scientific research in biodiversity: the area shelters at least 2,800 species of flora and approximately 2,000 fauna species which 150 of these are endangered of extinction. This fact confers the gold label on Biodiversity of the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standard (CCBS) to the project.

In this context, both Jari REDD+ Projects overlap with the National Reserve of Copper and its Associates (RENCA). This area, with around 4.6 million hectares, had recent international notoriety due to the temporary decree issued by the Brazilian president determining the extinction of the state mineral reserve to regularize the mineral exploration of the area by private sector companies. After discussions between different agents of society, the Brazilian president decided to repeal the decree of extinction of RENCA. This event exposed the remarkable wealth of natural resources in the area and led to discussions about their exploration and its probable irreversible impacts on local biodiversity.

REDD+ initiatives in this region make a counterpoint to large environmental impact activities, such as mining, through the forest conservation which reduces emissions of greenhouse gases and promotes sustainable socio-economic local development which valorize the “standing forest” by payment for environmental services generated by the reduction of deforestation and forest degradation.
