Description

CONTEXTUALIZATION

Through a coordinated effort involving the Pará State Secretariat for Environment, Climate and Sustainability (Semas), the Pará State Secretariat for Family Agriculture (SEAF), the Pará Land Institute (ITERPA), the State Technical Assistance and Rural Extension Company (EMATER), and Fundação Guamá (a Pará-based science and technology institution dedicated to fostering and supporting science, technology, and innovation), the project seeks to address the following needs identified within the target territory, thereby contributing to the conservation and sustainable use of the Amazon:

  1. Support for the consolidation of the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) in Pará;
  2. Support for land surveying and land tenure regularization for small farmers and quilombola communities;
  3. Strengthening, equipping, and training public agencies responsible for socioenvironmental management, land administration, technical assistance, and environmental regularization;
  4. Promotion of sustainable productive activities, boosting the regional economy and creating alternatives to predatory activities.

THE PROJECT

The main objectives are to support environmental and land tenure regularization, sociobioeconomy initiatives, and low-carbon socioeconomic development policies in the State of Pará, particularly in the Lower Amazon and Xingu regions.

To achieve these objectives, the project is organized into the following components and outputs:

Component 1 – Environmental and Land Tenure Regularization and Strengthening of Public Institutions

1.1 Updating and/or registration in CAR, land surveying, and agronomic inspections of family farming properties and quilombola territories;

1.2 Land registry assessments to support the identification of areas suitable for the creation of Protected Areas;

1.3 Digitization and indexing of the historical land records archive of ITERPA;

1.4 Strengthening public agencies involved in technical assistance, environmental regularization, and the promotion of sustainable productive activities through the acquisition of equipment and vehicles.

Component 2 – Support for Sociobioeconomy

2.1 Mapping of bioeconomy businesses;

2.2 Strengthening productive organizations (OSPs), including cooperatives and producers’ associations.

Component 3 – Cross-cutting Actions to Promote Low-Carbon Socioeconomic Development Policies in Pará

3.1 Capacity building for local managers, public sector technicians working on socioenvironmental issues, and representatives of OSPs;

3.2 Awareness campaigns on socioenvironmental public policies available to local populations and productive sectors;

3.3 Networking and integration events focused on environmental and land tenure regularization and the promotion of bio-based businesses, including two Business Fairs;

3.4 Establishment of demonstration and technological reference units focused on sociobioeconomy value chains.

Component 4 – Project Management, Monitoring and Communication

Expected Results

  • Increased number of family farming properties and quilombola territories with CAR registrations eligible for validation;
  • Land tenure regularization (with environmental monitoring) of family farming properties and quilombola territories;
  • Identification of areas suitable for the creation of Protected Areas;
  • A digital land administration database containing approximately 5.5 million indexed documents;
  • Strengthened public institutions responsible for socioenvironmental management, technical assistance, environmental regularization, and sustainable production support, including equipment and training;
  • Mapping of the bioeconomy sector across a significant portion of the state;
  • Enhanced and expanded sociobiodiversity value chains and bio-based businesses operated by cooperatives and producers’ associations.

INTERVENTION LOGIC

1.1 Sustainable forest- and biodiversity-based economic activities identified and developed;

1.2 Increased value added in agroforestry and biodiversity product value chains;

1.3 Enhanced managerial and technical capacities for implementing sustainable forest- and biodiversity-based economic activities.

Component 2 – Monitoring and Control

2.1 Environmental monitoring, enforcement, and accountability institutions strengthened and modernized;

2.2 Improved access of rural producers to environmental regularization of their properties.

Component 3 – Land-Use Planning and Territorial Management

3.3 Expanded area of lands with regularized land tenure status.
