Avoided Deforestation - Mata do Uru
ABOUT IT
The Avoided Deforestation Program project, created by the company, aims to form an alliance between landowners with remnant Araucaria Forest and companies that have the objective of maintaining these remnants, in exchange for environmental compensation or biodiversity conservation. Therefore, the Campanholo family (POSIGRAF), in conjunction with the Society for Wildlife Research and Environmental Education (SPVS), sought out partnerships. Posigraf, a subsidiary of the Positivo Group, has been funding the reserve since 2003. The area is now a Private Natural Heritage Reserve (RPPN) at federal level, according to IBAMA. Through the project, the 128 hectares of Araucaria Forest have been transformed into a fully protected conservation unit.
