Key results:

• There were 402 hectares more forest cover in 2023, compared with 2016, providing habitat and food to a stabilised count of 259 species, including vulnerable species such as jaguar, the giant anteater, and white-snouted and black-billed toucans.
• In 2023, there were 28,276 tons more carbon stock than in 2016. This increase amounts to the capture of 103,679 tons of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent), which is how much 22,539 cars would emit annually.

Explore our Brazil sustainable forestry case study Amazonbai, revealing how Verified Impact has tapped into an intersection of business and environmental interests to bring benefits to both company sponsors and forest stewards.

Through this case study, we can see tangible results that Amazonbai delivered using FSC’s Verified Impact. This project not only demonstrates the important link between quality habitats and biodiversity, but also how forests can be effective carbon sinks that bolster the health of the surrounding ecosystem in a way that positively impacts not only biodiversity levels but also social enrichment of local communities.
