Reforestation
of the Dos Bois River Valley is a forest
protection and sustainable management
project that was initially conceived to be
a guideline for the "Rio dos
Bois" basin's recuperation, including
water, sewage, waste, reforestation and
forestation. The "Rio dos Bois"
is a tributary of Paranaíba River one of
the most important in the Paraná Basin.
The project is an initiative to sequester
8.1 million metric tons equivalent of CO2
emissions. The project will be submitted
for certification under the United States
Initiative on Joint Implementation
(USIJI). Clean Air S. A., a CO2 rights
Development Company has identified the
project and will assist in the CO2
emissions component of the project. The
total project cost is approximately $24
million to be invested in a total of seven
years (2003 - 2008).
The
reforestation and forestation activities
will include the reforestation of
approximately 40.000 hectares of
Eucalyptus. These forests will be
constituted both by natural and commercial
species. The study will define the best
combination between natural and commercial
species, and if it is possible to conduct
wood exploitation. |
