Project Stage
The Amazon Rainforest is one of the most important ecosystems on the planet, playing a fundamental role in mitigating climate change. The forest houses a large amount of carbon, which is stored in its vegetation, soil and biomass. Deforestation and forest degradation, on the other hand, release this carbon into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. Therefore, it is especially important to protect this standing forest.
The Abiu (Pouperia guianenses) is the tree with the highest incidence in the project area, this tree has several functions within the ecosystem, such as shelter and habitat for fauna, food for birdlife, shade for the forest environment, its transpiration contributes to the production of rivers flies, contributes to the absorption of atmospheric carbon. Thus, ABIU collaborates with more than 100 species of trees to mitigate climate change.
The Abiu Amazônia project began its activities in 2023 by preparing a forest inventory and monitoring the standing forest. In the second phase, the project will support the local community, establishing environmental and health education actions, generating income from new rural economic activities, encouraging female professionalization through technical workshops.
Therefore, in addition to helping to protect the standing forest, the project also supports the economic development of the Cristo Rei community.
