• Project description
  The Yellow Ipê Grouped REDD Project is located in the municipalities of Novo Aripuanã and Borba, south of Amazonas state, in the Northern region of Brazil. The Trans Amazonian Highway BR 230 is located in the south of the project region and, along its route, cattle raising can be found, which is one of the many agents to deforestation in the region. The primary objective of the Yellow Ipê Grouped REDD Project is to avoid unplanned deforestation (AUD) of a specific region within the municipalities of Novo Aripuanã and Borba. The first Project activity instance has an area of 86,097.67ha, as it is part of two private properties in Novo Aripuanã, consisting of 100% Amazon rainforest. However, other REDD project instances can be added into this grouped project activity in the future, as long as they comply with the eligibility criteria defined by the methodology and of the VCS Standard. Besides the ecological and carbon benefits of the project, a proportion of the carbon credits generated will be dedicated to improving social and environmental conditions for the local community around the project area, specifically contributing to environmental education and other social activities. The contribution to sustainability is being monitored applying the SOCIALCARBON® Standard, which is based on six key indicators: Biodiversity; Natural; Financial; Human; Social and Carbon Resources. This REDD project is expected to avoid a predicted 25,680.81ha of deforestation, equating to around 8,199,069 tCO2e in emissions reductions
