Jari Amapá REDD+ Project
A forest conservation initiative in the Vale do Jari region of Amapá, Brazil.





The Jari Amapá REDD+ Project is a forest conservation initiative in the Vale do Jari region of Amapá, Brazil, designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by preventing deforestation and forest degradation through sustainable forest management and monitoring. The project, launched in 2011 and registered under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and Climate, Community & Biodiversity (CCB) standards, targets avoided emissions of approximately 3,450,278 tCO₂e over a 30- to 40-year period, with an average annual reduction of around 115,000 tCO₂e.
Beyond carbon mitigation, Jari Amapá fosters significant environmental co-benefits including protection of high conservation value forest, maintenance of ecosystem services like water regulation and soil protection, and preservation of rich biodiversity—supporting hundreds of flora and fauna species, some of which are threatened or endemic.
The project also generates social and economic impacts for local rural communities by promoting sustainable family agriculture, agroextractivism, technical assistance, and income-generating opportunities. It strengthens regional supply chains, improves food security, and provides training in sustainable farming and organizational skills, with deliberate inclusion of women and marginalised groups in project activities.
Overall, the Jari Amapá REDD+ Project demonstrates a model of integrated climate action that delivers both carbon reductions and tangible socio-environmental benefits.

Certified under the Verra Carbon Standard (VCS), the world’s most widely used carbon crediting program, endorsed by ICROA.
Our forest that has only served to the human being, has been exploited and occupied in an unreasonable, disordered and frightening predatory manner. The complaint is made by scientists who know what they are saying. Of course the Amazon needs to be occupied and developed, but always taking into account the ecological factors and its necessary harmony. Our forest has to be used, but humanly. Used, not degraded.
