There are over 10 million ha of degraded land in the Brazilian Amazon.
We want to turn an environmental liability into an ecological and economical asset.
The Opportunity:
Identify The Problems
Climate change presents the biggest threat to our global society and to seriously engage with the problem, we have to rethink the way we produce raw materials and present scalable solutions to the myriad of issues facing our warming world.
Oversimplified production systems
Huge increases in land degradation and forest loss
Decrease in biodiversity, especially in areas of production and raw material extraction
Heavy carbon footprint of fossil fuel dependent industries
Lack of well paid, diversified and sustained employment in rural areas
The Solution:
Polyculture planted forests
The first phase of our polyculture planted forests will utilise an innovative grid system that combines species already well used and researched in the state. These species will be Parica, a native species to Pará, Eucalyptus and Teak. This grid will cover 50% of the land. This amounts to 2500ha alongside 2500ha of conservation areas.
