Program

Coopaibra Carbon

Coopaibra develops carbon-credit projects on indigenous lands in direct partnership with the representative associations of each community. We work under ILO Convention 169, the guidelines of the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office, and each people's own consultation protocol — with institutional transparency and respect for community autonomy.

The program

How the program works

The Coopaibra Carbon Program is the institutional framework under which the cooperative develops carbon-credit projects on indigenous lands, with international certification by Verra (REDD+) and the Climate, Community and Biodiversity (CCB) standard.

The program's governance combines three cooperative bodies — the Board of Administration, the Advisory Board (with external audit) and the Project Review Committee — to ensure technical integrity, transparency and respect for each people's consultation protocol.

Protect and restore native vegetation and biodiversity, with regenerative production practices.
Advance the socio-economic development of indigenous peoples, preserving language and culture.
Generate high-quality, reliable carbon credits, with proceeds reinvested in the territory.
Promote governance and compliance, indigenous-led, with respect for local autonomy.

Strategy

Three fronts of action

The Program combines conservation, reforestation and regenerative production across the indigenous territories it serves.

Conservation

REDD+ with CCB

Conservation of native rainforests and biodiversity. The REDD+ with CCB program creates incentives and compensation for conservation and generates employment within communities.

Stream running through preserved Amazon rainforest

Reforestation

Native species

Recovery of deforested or degraded land with native species — capturing carbon, restoring biodiversity and generating employment through forest management and extractive production (açaí, brazil nuts, rubber).

Regenerative production

ICLF

Regenerative production on degraded land through agroforestry systems and Integrated Crop-Livestock-Forestry (ICLF), restoring soils and generating high-quality employment.
