• Project description
  The project goal is the reforestation of degraded lands, which would continue to remain degraded, and would become increasingly more degraded, in absence of the project. The project aims to restore natural biodiverse forest and produce crops through agroforestry in other areas. This is done through Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR). A secondary goal is to expand in the region. In this case, the first farm will serve as a hub to be able to scale to adjacent farms and acquire more land to add to the project. The farm has been used extensively for cattle ranching and has an average livestock load of 600 cows. As a result, the land has been rid of its vegetation and the soil quality is gradually decreasing. The environmental damage and the decline of economic viability of the business as usual, has caused the owner to consider a sustainable strategy. The project is located in Brazil – Municipality of Bagé, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The total area of the project is 1.037 hectares and is privately owned by the Titton family (‘Owner’). An estimated 458 ha is suitable for reforestation. The project is expected to generate GHG emissions reductions through reforestation of degraded grassland. Biomass growth in the project area is expected to sequester. Also, following out the strategy a total of 244.565 tonnes of CO2 is to be sequestered by reforestation of native forest. This results in an average annual amount of 8.152,2 tonnes of CO2. The crediting period lasts 30 years and runs from March 1, 2021 to February 28, 2051.
