"New report – recovery of 12 million ha. of native vegetation possible by 2030
The Brazilian Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (BPBES), supported by the Research Programme on Biodiversity Characterisation, Conservation and Sustainable Use (-FAPESP-BIOTA) and the International Institute for Sustainability (ISS), has released the document “Landscape and Ecosystem Restoration”, which states that it is possible to recover 12 million hectares of native vegetation of the country by 2030.
Brazil has lost about 71 million hectares of native vegetation in the last 30 years as a result of deforestation and forest fires among other factors according to MapBiomas. This damage can be repaired through enabling the recovery of 12 million hectares of native vegetation across the country by 2030 as set out in the National Ecological Restoration Plan.
Through this it would be possible to sequester 1.4 megatons (Mt) of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, interconnect natural fragments in the landscape and further increase biodiversity conservation without impairing agriculture output.
Brazil has the opportunity to develop a unique native vegetation recovery programme for forested areas of the Atlantic Forest and the Amazon rainforest.
This is because the country can count on a great diversity of species in restoration projects.
