Conexão Mata Atlântica in Rio de Janeiro: conservation and restoration aligned with sustainable production
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The Conexão Mata Atlântica project is an initiative of payments for environmental services (PES) that recognizes priority actions for conservation and restoration in the Atlantic Forest, in three Brazilian states. In the State of Rio de Janeiro, approximately 240 families of farmers are compensated for their contributions to conserving and restoring nearly 2,440 hectares of land, fostering socio-environmental and economic transformation at the local and global levels.
The objective is to contribute to climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and water and food security, with the aim of increasing carbon stocks. The project is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) in partnership with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), along with matching funds from the state government.
