Project Description
Nestled within the Brazilian Amazon, the Trocano Araretama Project stands as a beacon of conservation and sustainability. Spanning 1,346,541 hectares of natural forest, this REDD+ carbon project addresses the looming threat of deforestation, safeguarding the entire ecosystem within its boundaries and leakage zone.
With the Amazon facing unprecedented challenges from deforestation, the Trocano project is crucial for preserving biodiversity and combating climate change. Its primary objectives revolve around forest protection, biodiversity conservation, and enhancing the socio-economic well-being of local communities. By focusing on these core pillars, the project aims to create a harmonious balance between environmental conservation and sustainable development.
The project's impact extends beyond environmental preservation; it directly benefits the 10,700 inhabitants of the project area. Through capacity building initiatives and equitable benefit distribution mechanisms, local communities actively participate in and contribute to the project's success.
In collaboration with the City Hall of Borba, Go Balance plays a pivotal role in ensuring the effective implementation of project activities. This partnership is vital for achieving the project's annual verification targets and demonstrating its effectiveness as a REDD+ project.
