This project aims to recover legal reserve areas (ARL) or areas of permanent preservation (APP), in regions of family agriculture at the Brazilian Oriental Amazon, in the hopes of reducing impacts resulted from agricultural and forest practices. The project aims to train at least 150 family farmers in management of natural resources in areas which are close to bodies of water, and also to recover and monitor these areas' environment. The project will be developed in micro-basins of the Bragança, ... Status: Completed Start date: Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
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. Status: Completed Start date: Mon Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
Responses of humid tropical forests to logging: new perspectives for forest management in the Amazon
The GUIAMAFLOR project includes French (Guyana and Montpellier) and Brazilian (Manaus and Macapá) research partners. The fieldwork is located in four sustainable systems in three Amazonian regions (French Guyana, Amapá and Amazonas) aiming to understand how environmental factors influence the forest dynamic after logging in multiple intensity levels. With the project’s results it will be possible to make a synthesis of the knowledge about forests’ functioning after logging to improve forest m ...Status: Completed Start date: Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
The state of Pará is slowly adopting practices to modify altered areas by means of reforestation, and the agriculture producers have been requesting seeds and seedlings in order to apply Agro-forest Systems. However, a great obstacle to this program has been the lack of knowledge about seed germination technologies and seedling production, on a commercial scale and with quality standards. To address these deficiencies, this project aims to research native species with potential use in these syst ... Status: Completed Start date: Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
The goal is to assess the economic and ecological effectiveness of different models of forest restoration of degraded areas through the induction of secondary ecological succession, by natural regeneration, planting of seedlings, and the direct sowing of native and exotic tree species to compose the Legal Reserve.

Riverside communities experience many deficiencies in electricity supply and basic sanitation. Regarding forest products management there is a dependency of açaí and limited use of other species. Thus, the project located at Ilha das Cinzas – Pará state, aims to: evaluate agroforestry systems with ‘pau mulato’ and other arboreal and agricultural species; generate actual technical indices to the management of native açaí grooves through its mapping and monitoring along with participating families ...

This project aims at strengthening bilateral cooperation in Science and Technology between Brazil and China, for the development of the bamboo production chain in the Brazilian territory, through activities stipulated by the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Brazilian and Chinese governments in April 2011, for the purpose to intensifying the sharing of scientific knowledge and technologies between Brazilian and Chinese research institutions and the exchange of technological information w Status: Completed Start date: Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
This project's main goal is to promote knowledge building in partnership with the extractivist community through research actions to adapt and generate technologies and innovation for the sustainable use of bamboo forests, and diversify production activities in the Chico Mendes Extractivist Reserve with the insertion of bamboo into the production systems of the production units.
