Brazil, with its vast biodiversity and abundance of natural resources, plays a central role in global environmental preservation. Recent studies have revealed that the country has 74 million hectares of surplus native vegetation preserved in Legal Reserves. These areas exceed what is required by law, creating a favorable scenario for the development of carbon credit projects, a crucial tool for combating climate change and promoting sustainability.
The surplus native vegetation in Brazil is an opportunity for the development of environmental services markets, such as carbon credits. These credits represent the mitigation or removal of greenhouse gases and can be purchased by companies or organizations that wish to offset their emissions. This mechanism not only encourages preservation, but also generates income for rural landowners and local communities.
States such as Bahia and Mato Grosso lead in preserved areas, with more than 10 million and between 5.5 and 7.3 million hectares, respectively. On the other hand, challenges still exist, such as the 21 million hectares that require restoration for environmental regularization.
Challenges and Shortcomings of the Rural Environmental Registry
The Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) faces serious limitations, with only 1.8% of registrations validated to date. This compromises the implementation of mechanisms such as the Environmental Regularization Program (PRA) and the Environmental Reserve Quotas (CRA) market. To overcome these challenges, it is essential to modernize monitoring systems and expand remote sensing technologies, areas where ACC's expertise in partnership with Consultoria Green Forest - a sister company - can make a difference.
ACC's Role in Carbon Preservation and Credits
Amazon Connection Carbon (ACC), headquartered in the Amazon, positions itself as a leader in sustainable solutions. The company offers services such as emissions quantification, forest inventories and certification of carbon credit projects, ensuring the integrity and effectiveness of these initiatives. ACC’s work stands out for its thorough inspection of areas of preserved native vegetation. Using advanced technologies and a multidisciplinary team, the company ensures that each project is conducted with transparency and compliance.
This process includes everything from the initial analysis of technical feasibility to certification, ensuring that the credits issued represent real benefits for the climate and biodiversity. Integrating surplus legal reserves into carbon credit projects has the potential to generate significant environmental and socioeconomic impacts. In addition to promoting preservation, these initiatives can boost sustainable development in remote regions, creating jobs and encouraging regenerative agricultural practices.
ACC’s team carries out its efforts with an ethical and innovative approach. Its work strengthens Brazil’s commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), reinforcing the country’s role as guardian of global climate balance. The opportunity offered by the 74 million hectares of preserved surplus vegetation in Brazil is a demonstration that sustainability can be combined with economic development. Brazil has the chance to consolidate its position as a leader in the carbon credit market, ensuring that its natural resources are preserved for future generations. The precision and integrity of the work carried out by ACC make these initiatives examples of how to combine innovation, environmental responsibility and social impact.
