O que é

The objective of this study is to provide a better understanding of regulatory, political, and socio-environmental issues related to the concept of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) in the state of Acre.

The REDD+ Feasibility Study for Acre began in August 2011 and was commissioned by the Japanese company Marubeni, in partnership with the ITTO (International Tropical Timber Organization). The study analyzed general characteristics of the Amazon and specific features of Acre to establish a baseline for potential deforestation in the project area over the next 30 years.

The study drew on the expertise of renowned specialists in all areas related to the project, including Professor Luiz Gylvan Meira Filho and Professor Niro Higuchi. An area of approximately 1.55 million hectares was studied, analyzing the feasibility of implementing a REDD+ project, its potential for generating carbon credits, and its social impact on the region.

The study concluded that for the future REDD+ project to succeed, the area would need to be divided into three sections and the project carried out in phases, thereby substantially reducing implementation costs. The study mapped the conditions of the area and has been used by partners to develop project proposals to be implemented in the coming years.
