The project aimed to quantify carbon stocks and assess the impact of human activity on changes in carbon stocks in the Amazon Forest. In that region, in response to the potential climatic effects of deforestation, policy makers have paved the way for policy changes that drive emission reductions by reducing deforestation and forest degradation and the improvement of forest carbon stocks. The project was part of the “Sustainable Landscapes” program of technical cooperation from USAID and the U.S. Department of State with operations in more than 40 countries. In Brazil, the program was related to improving carbon accounting and greenhouse gas emissions, acting in the transfer of technologies and advanced training programs for professionals working in research and management of natural resources, mainly forest resources.
