プロジェクト概要

The Cerrado Biome project is located in the Cerrado biome of Brazil, the country's second largest biome and one of the most biodiverse savannah regions in the world. The project aims to protect and preserve native forests and grasslands from commercial agriculture and cattle ranching, which have caused a nearly 50% loss in native vegetation since 1985.
The project generates carbon credits that are sold as an alternative source of income for landholders, with some of the revenue invested in local communities for environmental education, professional skill development, research, and workers' safety improvements.
The project is expected to initially generate 0.1 million carbon credits per year and scale to 0.5 million carbon credits per year over 30 years. The project will also protect the region's biodiversity, including endangered species found nowhere else.
