Project Stage
The native forest area of the company Buddemeyer Acabamento Têxtil LTDA is located in the municipality of Campo Alegre – Santa Catarina, on the banks of the Rio Negro, in the south of Brazil and the north of the state.
The project area is located in a forest area belonging to the Buddemeyer group, composed of the Atlantic Forest. The area is ecologically rich, with species of fauna and flora, in addition to the presence of important watercourses for the region. Its preservation is essential for maintaining biodiversity, forest and water resources. Among the drivers of deforestation in the region, the implementation of infrastructure, livestock farming and agriculture are the main drivers, with emphasis on the implementation of industrial infrastructure.
Therefore, the preservation of the area by the company contributes to mitigating climate change, protecting terrestrial and limnic biodiversity and protecting the soil. The forest fragments within the Atlantic Forest Biome are of great importance in relation to carbon storage and nutrient cycling2.
The project to maintain and increase forest carbon stocks was carried out on property registered under number 50,528, with the aim of protecting this vegetation against deforestation and degradation caused by the implementation of urban and industrial infrastructure. The project, located in an area of 26.32 hectares of the Atlantic Forest, aims to maintain and increase carbon stocks in above-ground biomass, corresponding to 5,839.22 tCO2e of avoided emissions in 2024.
