The Envira Amazonia project is a REDD+ project designed by VCS and CCBS in the state of Acre, Brazil, which aims to protect up to 39,300.60 hectares of tropical rainforest by engaging a large landowner willing to forgo conversion of forest land to a ranching operation.

In addition, the Envira Amazonia project will simultaneously conserve a rich biodiversity and a wide range of ecosystem services, providing direct benefits to local communities and mitigate the release of million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions over the years of the project.

The three main Project Proponents are CarbonCo, LLC (“CarbonCo”), Freitas International
Group, LLC (“Freitas International Group or Carbon Securities”), and JR Agropecuária e
Empreendimentos EIRELI.

Contributes to the mitigation of the greenhouse effect and influences precipitation patterns and the local microclimate.

Influences the quality and integrity of the soil-water system, and the cycling of water and nutrients.

Preservation of local biodiversity by providing suitable habitats and resources.

Supports human well-being, by providing resources, income, education, empowerment, and supporting culture and spirituality.

Around 60 km southeast of Feijó town in the Brazilian state of Acre, the Envira Amazonia project runs along either side of the Jurupari river in the Amazon Basin. It takes roots on 200,000 hectares of land formerly owned by businessmen and sold in 2009 to forest management experts. The Envira Amazonia Property was historically used for rubber tapping and was an extractive area for natural forest products before these activities stopped due to the crash in rubber prices in the late 1980s. The paving of the main east-west highway in Acre in 2011 has greatly increased property values, and cattle ranching along this road corridor has thus expanded.

The Envira Amazonia REDD+ project is located in the state of Acre, Brazil, and aims to protect up to 200,000 hectares of tropical rainforest. By engaging landowners willing to forgo conversion of forest land to pastures, this project is expected to generate 1,2 million teq CO2 of annual emission reduction. The Envira Amazonia project also establishes alternative, sustainable economic opportunities for local communities that promote environmental stewardship and protect biodiversity. Moreover, rainforest conservation itself protects forest ecosystem services such as air and water filtration, water and nutrient cycle regulation, flood protection, and the spiritual and cultural value of tropical forests. Combined, these activities help discourage deforestation in the wider region.

Since 2017, Reforest’Action is partnering with Yagasu, an Indonesian NGO, to work concretely on the restoration of this unique biodiversity hotspot, essential to the protection of the island’s coastlines. The objectives of the action correspond to the identified problems or real needs of the coastal community. Restoring mangroves as a nature-based solution strategy could make communities more resilient to environmental changes and improve their social-economic capacity. By working with local communities, this project aimed to restore severely degraded sites, control abrasion and reduce the tsunami's impact to improve the community’s agility in climate change mitigation. This project also increased the commitment of the local communities to protecting mangroves through group formation, policy initiative development, and environmental awareness education.

Indonesia is the world's most deforested country, with rainforest disappearing twice as fast as in the Amazon. In 1987, northern Sumatra boasted 200,000 hectares of mangroves. Today, less than half this remains, at just 83,000 hectares. This massive deforestation is mainly due to anthropic pressure: mangroves are converted into areas for intensive shrimp and fish farming or palm oil production, and illegally felled to make firewood or charcoal. The disappearance of mangroves, accelerated by global warming, makes coasts even more vulnerable to flooding and land erosion.

Since 2003, Yagasu, an Indonesian environmental NGO, has been restoring mangroves in collaboration with forest communities. Since its foundation, almost 6,000 hectares have been replanted. Yagasu's mangrove protection and restoration project has conserved 23 different mangrove species, 8 mammal species, 16 reptile and amphibian species, 32 invertebrate species (crabs, shrimps, etc.), 73 bird species, 41 fish species and 9 migratory bird species.

With the aim of restoring and extending the native mangrove on the island of Sumatra to protect its coastlines and secure the economic activities linked to it, Reforest'Action entered into a lasting partnership with local NGO Yagasu in 2017. The objectives of the campaign respond to identified problems or real needs of the coastal community. The project aims to restore severely degraded sites by working hand-in-hand with local populations, controlling abrasion and reducing the impact of the tsunami.

At an altitude of over 2,000 meters, the misty landscape of the Piura highlands is deceptive. This is indeed an arid ecosystem, made up of sparse dry forests threatened by desertification. The harsh climate is compounded by deforestation, a consequence of growing agricultural needs. According to the Servicio Nacional Forestal y de Fauna Silvestre, over 600,000 hectares of forest have been illegally cleared in the Piura region over the past twenty years. The province of Huancabamba, where the project financed by Reforest'Action is located, suffers the highest rate of deforestation. The near absence of vegetation exposes arable soils to water and wind erosion. Fires, which feed on the scanty brushwood, also represent a growing threat, while long periods without rainfall are dangerously drying up water resources.

Reforest’Action is associated with the Peruvian NGO Progreso, founded in 1993\. The NGO has more than 25 years of experience in the development of agroforestry systems, the improvement of food security for the populations of the Piura region and the fight against climate change. The Progreso team works hand in hand with local district governments and farming communities. Progreso will ensure the monitoring of the planted trees and raise awareness among villagers about sustainable agriculture and the importance of preserving forests.

Starting in 2019, this is the second natural ecosystem regeneration project financed by Reforest'Action in Peru. On the highlands of the Piura region and in partnership with Peruvian NGO PROGRESO, the actions carried out aim to regenerate the eroded soil and to fight against desertification. In this context, planting trees is an effective way of improving the soil, with many positive cascading effects: better water infiltration, control of water erosion, barrier against mudslides, recovery and maintenance of water resources, and improved soil fertility. At the surface, tree crowns act as windbreaks against wind erosion. Besides, the presence of vegetation in the landscape also generates a more humid microclimate, conducive to agriculture and livestock farming.

SUSTAINABLE_CITIES_AND_COMMUNITIES

Haiti is one of the most deforested countries in the world. In 1920, 60% of the country was covered by forest, compared with 2% today. The massive loss of forest cover is mainly due to charcoal production, the main source of energy for the population. The dramatic passage of Hurricane Matthew in October 2016 also destroyed a huge proportion of the trees still standing. Located in the Jacmel Valley, the Lavial community has a population of around 36,000\. Living conditions over there are precarious: a large proportion of the population lives below the poverty line. The local association OJUCAH is therefore deploying actions to support agriculture, livestock breeding, health and education.

The Organisation des Jeunes Universitaires de Carrefour pour l'Avancement d'Haïti (OJUCAH - Carrefour's Young Academics' Organization for the Advancement of Haiti) is an apolitical, non-profit, non-denominational association bringing together children, young and old, regardless of gender, ethnic group, creed or social affiliation. The organization was created in 1998 in the Haitian town of Carrefour, and is now active around the municipality of Lavial, with some 1,200 active members spread across various rural sections. the NGO is recognized as a charitable organization and registered with the Ministry of Social Affairs.

In Haiti's South-East department, in the Jacmel Valley, Reforest'Action and the Organisation des Jeunes Universitaires de Carrefour pour l'Avancement d'Haïti (OJUCAH) are collaborating with the "Trees That Feed" program to finance several fruit and forest species. The project enables both the reforestation of degraded areas around the associated villages and the development of agroforestry. The forest ecosystems thus recreated will offer a multitude of invaluable services for the climate, biodiversity and local populations, while agroforestry systems will enable families to generate additional income.

The project is located on the edge of Masoala National Park, a Unesco World Heritage site with a rich diversity of endemic flora and fauna. However, World Bank reports indicate that the country's forest cover has been falling since the 1990s, resulting in the fragmentation of the island's natural spaces. These alarming statistics make Madagascar one of the world's 36 biodiversity hotspots, endangering the country's 14,000 endemic species of plants, primates, birds, reptiles and amphibians.

In the Masoala peninsula, the NGO Génération Masoala Madagascar has been working since 2008 on the region's economic and social development. Their actions are numerous: building schools and dispensaries, providing access to water and solar energy, repairing bridges and, last but not least, reforesting degraded land and promoting agroforestry. 

Reforest'Action works in collaboration with the Génération Masoala Madagascar association and the Fokontany municipality of Ambatobe to create a community tree nursery on the Masoala peninsula. Part of the trees grown in the nursery will then be distributed to the communities to be planted in agroforestry, while the other part will help reforest some of degraded areas. The aim of the project is to provide the local population with trees that will produce resources for the people, to be be consumed or sold, such as cocoa, coffee or clove.
