The Jari/Pará REDD+ project is an ongoing community-based project that safeguards large areas of forest to prevent deforestation and degradation. To further ensure the safety of this biodiverse habitat, local people will be trained in sustainable farming practices and forest management.
The environmental benefits of this project include mitigating climate change by preventing deforestation and reducing greenhouse gasses, protecting over 128,457 acres of tropical rainforest, and preserving the habitat of 2,000+ unique animal species. Socioeconomic benefits of this project include establishing community cooperatives and supporting new economic activities for the local community.
