Mejuruà

Project Mejuruá is one of the most ambitious forest conservation initiatives ever realized in the Amazon. Its key goal is to take tangible action to conserve land’s natural heritage, through initiatives that are destined to inspire and influence forestry conservation practices globally. The project’s size alone is extremely remarkable: it encompasses more than 900,000 hectares, including the incredibly biodiverse municipalities of Carauari, Jurua and Jutai. Sustainable Forest Management activities will be initially carried out on around 160,000 hectares and will be implemented over the residual eligible area at a later time. Project Mejuruà choice to develop sustainable forest management activities makes Project Mejuruá stand out from other environmental projects. In its dual mission of forest conservation and direct support to local communities, it produces value in terms of environmental, social and economic impact, fueling a virtuous circle of sustainable growth and shared prosperity.
