🌍 Amazon Carbon + eGreen: Conserving the Peruvian Amazon with innovation, technology and sustainability 🌱. Amazon Carbon is a project that changes the paradigm of the logging business and seeks to preserve 500,000 hectares of the Peruvian Amazon while directly benefiting some 50 local communities. These communities, who have logging rights on up to 5% of their land, face the reality that logging is an increasingly unprofitable and restricted business, and that soil conservation and regeneration is the future. 🤩 What makes Amazon Carbon unique? Instead of logging, communities have decided to protect their land and waive their logging rights. This commitment not only prevents deforestation, but allows existing biomass to power the forest and sequester more carbon. In return, communities receive: ✅ Income from carbon credits. ✅ Training to develop sustainable products without damaging the forest. 📡 🛜 The role of eGreen and dMRV technology: eGreen drives this project with advanced technologies, implementing a Digital Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (dMRV) system that ensures transparency and accuracy in real time. This includes: 🛰️ Satellite surveys to establish an initial baseline. 🛜 On-the-ground sensors that collect data in real time. 📈 Continuous and transparent monitoring to assess the impact and evolution of each property. 💡The use of dMRV will enable the generation of reliable data to support carbon reductions and avoid double counting, ensuring the credibility of carbon credits issued. 🎯 Projected environmental impact: 1️⃣ Initial reduction from avoided deforestation: over 3,000,000 tons of CO₂e avoided approx. on 25,000 hectares protected. 2️⃣ Additional carbon sequestration in the conserved forest: Approximately 1,500,000 tons of CO₂e per year due to the natural growth and regeneration of the 500,000 hectares. 📊 Innovative gamification model: eGreen will also implement a gamification system that will allow communities to visualize the performance of their estates on interactive dashboards, comparing results with others. This encourages collaboration, transparency and continuous improvement. 🌟 Accreditation and standards: Amazon Carbon will be certified as an AFOLU project under the ICROA standard by Biocarbon, guaranteeing the quality and impact of carbon reductions. This model not only protects biodiversity, but transforms challenges into opportunities, empowering communities to lead a more sustainable future. 💪 🌎 🌱 Together we can conserve the Amazon and combat climate change! #AmazonCarbon #Sustainability #Conservation #AFOLU #CarbonCredits #dMRV #Gamification #Innovation #PositiveImpact #SustainableTechnology.
