Maísa REDD+ Project

Located in the endemic center of Belém, Pará, a region of great importance for Amazonian biodiversity, the REDD + Maísa Project aims to promote the conservation and valorization of the forest through its multiple uses. The historical context of the region is marked by high rates of deforestation, a fact that reinforces the importance of the project’s strategies, which involve the improvement of the area’s monitoring processes, providing the protection of species in critical danger of extinction, such as Chiropotes satanas (Cuxiú-preto), in addition to promoting agricultural and extractive activities.
