Presentation

Objective

To promote the sustainable use, management and restoration of forests in the Brazilian Legal Amazon by strengthening the bioeconomy, expanding forest concessions, promoting environmental regularization and producing strategic information

Beneficiary

Traditional peoples and communities (PCTs) of forests and collective territories in the Amazon, including extractivist, Quilombola and Indigenous communities, as well as representatives of other traditional groups. In addition, the states and municipalities in the region.

Territorial scope

Brazilian Legal Amazon

Description

CONTEXTUALIZATION

The project seeks to address the main challenge facing the forest bioeconomy in the Amazon: generating jobs and income through the conservation and sustainable use of forest resources. Although significant progress has been made since the 1990s, particularly through initiatives supported by the PPG7 (Pilot Program to Conserve the Brazilian Rain Forest), challenges remain in terms of access to credit and technical assistance, as well as strengthening local management and production capacities.

The Amazon currently has 1.3 million hectares under federal forest concessions and mechanisms are in place to expand this area toward the target of 4 million hectares established by the Brazilian Forest Service. At the same time, strategic policies and programs, such as Community Forest Management, the National Plan for Native Vegetation Recovery (PLANAVEG), the National Commission for Native Vegetation Recovery (CONAVEG), and the National Bioeconomy Strategy, have been resumed or strengthened. However, further investment and concrete action are still needed to translate these guidelines into effective results, fostering sustainable and inclusive development in the Amazon region.

THE PROJECT

The project comprises the following components and activities:

Component 1: Forest Bioeconomy

  • Study on new credit models for forest enterprises conducted;
  • Community forest enterprises trained and provided with technical assistance;
  • Forest products laboratory accredited for the identification of timber species and non-timber forest products.

Component 2: Sustainable Forest Management Focusing on Timber Production

  • Preliminary studies for the preparation of forest concession tender documents conducted;
  • Institutional knowledge and procedures for preparing forest concession tender documents mapped and systematized;
  • Technical support provided to states for structuring and managing forest concessions;
  • New technologies for adding value to forest products disseminated;
  • Technological solutions for monitoring forest concessions implemented.

Component 3: Forest Restoration of Degraded or Altered Areas

  • Forest restoration models for the Amazon developed;
  • Geotechnologies and methodologies for monitoring forest restoration identified.

Component 4: Legal Reserve Compensation and Environmental Reserve Quotas (CRA)

  • Technical and legal models for environmental regularization developed;
  • Support provided to states for issuing reports required for Environmental Reserve Quotas (CRA);
  • Joint initiatives for issuing CRA carried out;
  • CRA monitoring instruments structured.

Component 5: Forest Intelligence

  • New information modules made available in the National Forest Information System (SNIF);
  • National Forest Inventory in the Brazilian Legal Amazon completed.

Component 6: Cross-cutting Actions

  • Events;
  • Communication;
  • Information technology;
  • Transportation and logistics;
  • Technical team.

Component 7: Management

  • Project Management Unit established;
  • Management training provided.

Expected results:

  • Foster the forest bioeconomy through sustainable value chains in collectively used territories/forests (FUC) in the Amazon, promoting conservation and income generation;
  • Expand federal and state forest concessions for restoration and forest management;
  • Promote forest restoration in degraded areas within collective territories;
  • Disseminate information on collectively used forests and areas undergoing restoration in the Amazon through the National Forest Information System (SNIF) and the National Registry of Public Forests;
  • Increase the supply of timber and non-timber forest products from sustainably managed areas under forest concessions;
  • Promote mechanisms for legal reserve compensation.

INTERVENTION LOGIC

This project falls under the “Sustainable Production” (1) and “Land-use Planning” (3) components of the Amazon Fund Logical Framework, contributing to the direct effects (1.1) Economic activities involving the sustainable use of forests and biodiversity identified and developed; (1.2) Value-added chains for agroforestry and biodiversity products expanded; (1.3) Management and technical capacities strengthened for the implementation of economic activities involving the sustainable use of forests and biodiversity; (1.4) Deforested and degraded areas restored and used for economic purposes and ecological conservation; and (3.2) Rural producers’ access to environmental regularization of their properties expanded.
