Madre de Dios Amazon REED Project
This is a project that brings together different activities aimed at sustainable forest management in the certified timber concessions “SAC Maderera Río Acre and Maderera Río Yaverija SAC” are 98,932 ha protected in the department of Madre de Dios, in the southeast of Peru, in the Peruvian Amazon. Its objective is to reduce deforestation and protect the habitat of 35 endangered species and the livelihood of indigenous communities that rely on the forest for their survival. Reduces greenhouse gas emissions, due to the greater absorption of CO2 thanks to the conservation of forests and avoiding the generation of carbon dioxide due to the burning of wood, thus mitigating 659,793 tCO2e per year.
