Summary
The Landscape Legacy Project is a large-scale ecological restoration initiative developed by re.green in the Brazilian Amazon, designed to transform degraded landscapes into thriving native forest ecosystems while generating high-integrity carbon removals. Structured under the Isometric Reforestation Protocol (v2.0), the Project combines rigorous standards for additionality, monitoring, permanence, and environmental integrity. The first Project Area, Ipê, is located in Paragominas, Pará State, within a landscape historically shaped by cattle ranching and forest conversion, now dominated by degraded pasturelands and secondary forests with reduced ecological functionality.
Through a continuum of restoration strategies, from assisted natural regeneration to active restoration and native-species silviculture, the Project seeks to restore forest structure, reconnect habitats, protect water resources, and create long-term resilience across the landscape. Within PA001, the eligible restoration area totals 2,326.82 hectares, with projected net removals of approximately 788,331 tCO₂ over a 50-year crediting period under a dynamic baseline approach.
Beyond carbon removal, the Project aims to create new refuges and ecological corridors for native and threatened species, recover riparian ecosystems that sustain local water systems, and generate meaningful employment and training opportunities linked to restoration activities. In doing so, the Project contributes directly to SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 15 (Life on Land), and SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), helping demonstrate how large-scale restoration can support both climate stability and the long-term regeneration of Amazonian landscapes and communities.
