• Project description
  Current research established nine planetary boundaries to define the environmental limits within which humanity can safely operate. Within those, two core boundaries — climate change and biosphere integrity — have been highlighted, each of which has the potential to drive the Earth system into a new state should they be substantially and persistently transgressed (Rockström et al., 2009; Steffen et al., 2015). Inspired by a call of action, Maraui Program was designed to act upon the two wicked problems — Climate Change & Biodiversity Loss. Maraui Program intends to halt GHG emissions by avoiding ecosystem conversion while protecting Biodiversity. Furthermore, such a program aims to aid in a range of pressing issues, from preserving Freshwater Resources to improving Traditional Communities’ livelihood. The Program is a grouped project - as per VCS definition - located in the states of Piauí and Maranhão, Brazil. Owners of rich Biodiversity, Piauí and Maranhão states are home to one of the most intense agricultural frontiers of the country and are the most poverty-stricken states - the lowest average income in Brazil (IBGE, 2021). At the issuance of this document, one Project Activity Instance (PAI) has been instituted, Fazenda Boqueirão (27,458.29 hectares).
