• Project description
  The Evergreen REDD+ Project is located in Apuí Municipality, Amazonas, currently the municipality with the 10th highest deforestation rate in Brazil making it a priority area for forest conservation worldwide. The present project continues to build on the success of the Fortaleza Ituxi REDD+ Project and the Unitor REDD+ Project, which have the same project developer and owner, and have provided an important proof of concept for the region. Evergreen’s Project Area sums to 130,554.81 hectares of preserved forest area. Given the deforestation pressures and financial difficulties regarding sustainable economic activities in the Project Area, sale of the farm to private investors is considered the most plausible baseline scenario. In recent years, some of the project landowners have been approached to sell their properties. In this context, the conversion of a portion of the project area to pastureland by the project owners, to alleviate the financial pressure, followed by the regional business-as-usual scenario (BAU) is the most plausible future scenario, involving deforestation beyond Brazilian Forest Code limits and sale of illegal timber, followed by implementation of unsustainable cattle ranching operations. Provided that the present REDD+ project is approved, the landowner intends to improve the mechanisms of surveillance inside the Project Area, abandon planned deforestation activities, as well as implement activities that will result in climate, community, and biodiversity benefits
