In Brazil, the Amazonas State boasts 150 million hectares of forest, 127 million of which have high ecological integrity.
The HIFOR pilot spans two Sustainable Development Reserves in the Central Amazonas Conservation Complex of Brazil, covering 3.6 million hectares of high integrity tropical forest. The Reserves are home to large populations of jaguars, river dolphins, and primates. Between 2010 and 2020, this area absorbed over 42 million tons of CO2 annually.
The area is a UNESCO Natural World Heritage site, with 12,000 people from local communities who live in, and depend on, the Reserves for their livelihoods.
Between 2010 and 2020, the two reserves combined absorbed over 42 million tons of CO₂ annually, keeping the planet cooler than it would be without them
There are high populations of jaguars, river dolphins, and primates such as the night monkey, red howling monkey, black-faced black spider monkey, pygmy marmoset, black-headed squirrel monkey, Ecuadorian squirrel monkey, Humboldt’s squirrel monkey, large-headed capuchin, white bald-headed uakari, and red bald-headed uakari. Threats from hunting exist.
There are 12,000 people living in and around the two sustainable development reserves who are the guardians of these areas with support from the national government.
