Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation
Restoring the Fazenda Santa Maria to a diverse and natural forest
Fazenda Santa Maria
Brazil | 5,916 ha
We envision the restoration of a long-term livestock pasture into a diverse and natural forest. Regenerating the Fazenda Santa Maria will not just return the richness of the Amazon, it will kick-start a reforestation economy that offers green and sustainable jobs, learning, and local opportunities.
Our goal is to use the proceeds from the sale of carbon credits to restore the forest, biodiversity and ecosystem services.

Conservation targets
Our project aims to realize the following conservation targets:
- Restoring native forest and biodiversity through Applied Natural Regeneration or Full Planting
- Protecting existing forest
- Providing an alternative income stream from credit sales to landowners to replace their cattle business
- Creating a restoration economy and learning opportunities on restoration and sustainable agriculture for local communities
- Improving soil-moisture holding capacity through regeneration
- Increasing below-ground root biomass to reduce erosion and landslides through regeneration
