PROJECT
Ipoá
The IPOÁ REDD+ Project, located in the municipality of Novo Aripuanã in Amazonas, is divided into AUD (avoided unplanned deforestation) and APD (avoided planned deforestation) and aims to protect a portion of the Amazon rainforest area to reduce CO2 emissions and conserve biodiversity.
There are three traditional communities located in the Project zone and their residents basically live by collecting copaiba and harvesting wood.
Our challenge
Before the project was implemented, the Ipoá area suffered a deforestation rate of 0.0058% annually, which is equivalent to 1 soccer field being cut down every year. The main factor that led the region to lead the deforestation statistics was cattle-raising.
Our project
In 2022, we carried out the project's first public consultation, made a socioeconomic survey and distributed feminine and oral hygiene kits. Check out the project updates below.
