The Quilombolas Territory Environmental Project is a transformative 25-year initiative covering approximately 50 million hectares in the Brazilian Amazon. Its integrated approach combines the ecological restoration of 9.5 million hectares of degraded land with the development of sustainable agriculture across more than 5 million hectares, merging large-scale environmental action with community-centered development.
Led by Oreasoc Agriculture Inc., in collaboration with CONAQ (Coordenação Nacional de Articulação das Comunidades Negras Rurais Quilombolas) and COOPPSAF (Cooperativa de Produção e Prestação de Serviços da Agricultura Familiar), the project benefits from strong partnerships with academic institutions, NGOs, and international organizations. Strategically located in one of the planet’s most critical ecological regions, it contributes directly to the protection of 20% of the world’s known biodiversity and supports the goals of the UN Sustainable Development Agenda and the Paris Agreement.
More than just a conservation effort, this project represents a new model of regenerative development, strengthening local capacity, fostering strategic alliances, and setting a global benchmark for integrated conservation and climate justice.
The Quilombolas are Afro-Brazilian communities descended from enslaved Africans who established autonomous settlements as expressions of freedom and resilience. Recognized as traditional peoples, they are protected by Brazilian law and international frameworks such as the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Their territories hold deep cultural value and play a crucial role in preserving global biodiversity.
This initiative contributes directly to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and supports climate targets under the Paris Agreement, bridging global ambition with local action.
Our structured methodology guides every phase of the project—from initial assessment and stakeholder engagement to long-term monitoring and adaptive management. Each stage is designed to uphold the highest international standards, ensure inclusive participation from Quilombola communities, and deliver measurable outcomes in climate mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development.
The Quilombolas Territory Environmental Project is structured around three core components, that together define its scope: protecting forests, restoring degraded areas, and promoting sustainable land use.
Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation
Focus on restoring degraded lands and replanting trees in deforested areas, creating new carbon sinks and bringing back ecological functions that support both people and nature.
Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation
Work to avoid deforestation and forest degradation in threatened areas, ensuring long-term conservation and community benefits.
