Manoa REDD+
The Manoa REDD+ Project preserves 73,079 hectares of the Amazon Rainforest in Cujubim, RO, functioning as an ecological corridor and refuge for over 780 species of fauna threatened by deforestation on neighboring properties. Since 2013, the initiative has annually reduced 279,000 tons of carbon, promoting biodiversity conservation and educating the local population about sustainable practices. In 30 years, the project will prevent the deforestation of 22,118 hectares, significantly contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the conservation of local biodiversity, with economic benefits for the community.

REDD+ stands for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, and it is a mechanism that proposes a set of actions to combat deforestation through social, climate, and biodiversity activities that result in the Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (+) the conservation of forest carbon stocks, sustainable forest management, and increased forest carbon stocks.
What are the benefits of neutralizing emissions?
Companies that neutralize their emissions with REDD+ Projects not only directly combat climate change but also avoid deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest, preserve biodiversity, and support local socio-economic development.

What are the project SDGs
The project Manoa REDD+ includes 7 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, which are:
QUALITY EDUCATION
Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. This goal aims to ensure that all people, regardless of their background or circumstances, have access to quality education at all levels, from early childhood education to higher education and vocational training. This includes promoting equal access to education, improving the quality and relevance of teaching, and ensuring safe and inclusive learning environments. Additionally, the goal seeks to promote lifelong learning opportunities, recognizing the importance of continuous education for the personal and professional development of people of all ages.
CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION
Ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. This goal aims to guarantee universal access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation for all people by 2030. It recognizes the crucial importance of water and sanitation for health, sustainable development, and poverty eradication. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to improve water quality, promote efficient use of water resources, protect water-related ecosystems, and develop adequate sanitation infrastructure. This includes access to proper and safe sanitation facilities, as well as the promotion of appropriate hygiene practices.
DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all. This goal aims to ensure that economic growth is sustainable and inclusive, creating decent jobs and work opportunities for all people. It seeks to achieve full and productive employment and decent work, as well as promote equal opportunities in the labor market, reduce informality, and combat all forms of child labor and forced labor. SDG 8 also encourages the development of policies that support entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic growth in sustainable sectors.
RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION
Ensure sustainable patterns of production and consumption. This goal aims to promote production and consumption practices that are more resource-efficient, less polluting, generate less waste, and have reduced environmental impact. This includes promoting efficiency in the use of natural resources, reducing waste, adopting cleaner production practices, and implementing sustainable supply chains. SDG 12 also seeks to raise awareness about the environmental and social impacts of unsustainable production and consumption patterns, encouraging the adoption of more sustainable and responsible lifestyles.
CLIMATE ACTION
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. This goal aims to address the challenges posed by climate change, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions, adapting to adverse impacts already occurring, and promoting climate resilience. Achieving this goal requires actions at various levels, from local to international, aiming at mitigating emissions, developing adaptation strategies, implementing environmental policies, and mobilizing resources to finance measures to combat climate change. SDG 13 recognizes the urgency of acting to avoid the worst effects of climate change and to protect the environment for future generations.
LIFE ON LAND
Protect, restore, and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, and halt biodiversity loss. This goal aims to ensure the conservation and sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, including forests, wetlands, mountains, and drylands, as well as the protection of biodiversity and natural habitats. It seeks to promote sustainable land management practices, restoration of degraded ecosystems, biodiversity conservation, combating desertification and land degradation, and preventing species extinction. SDG 15 recognizes the fundamental role of terrestrial ecosystems in the health of the planet, in mitigating climate change, and in human well-being.
PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE GOALS
Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development. This goal aims to strengthen collaboration between countries and across the public, private, and civil society sectors to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It seeks to promote inclusive and multi-stakeholder partnerships, mobilize financial, technological, and human resources, and strengthen international cooperation to support developing countries in implementing the SDGs. SDG 17 also emphasizes the importance of technology transfer, capacity building, and the establishment of monitoring and reporting systems to track progress towards the SDGs. It recognizes that achieving the SDGs requires coordinated and collaborative action at the global, regional, national, and local levels.
