Open biodiversity protocols to track non-timber forest products and carbon sequestration, creating sustainable revenue streams, empowering local communities and fighting deforestation in the Amazon.
The project spans 60,000 hectares in Brazil, with a successful partnership with Natura - Brazilian cosmetic giant with socio-bioeconomy practices. It integrates flora diversity, NTFPs supply chain, and carbon data into open, transparent methodologies, helping establish Bioverse as a leader in developing scalable metrics for attracting capital to protecting forests and people. These partnerships also improve biodiversity monitoring in active harvest zones, ensuring forest sustainability while fostering community empowerment.
Bioverse is transforming conservation in the Amazon by integrating biodiversity and Non-Timber Forest Product (NTFP) into a novel carbon project development protocol. This open protocol will result in creating sustainable revenue streams for forest communities. In collaboration with the Open Forest Protocol, this approach shifts the focus from Carbon only projects and bringing biodiversity and the benefits of nature positive bioeconomies directly impacting the livelihoods of local communities and providing alternatives to destructive practices like cattle ranching and logging.
Bioverse enables local communities to generate income while preserving biodiversity by mapping valuable forest species like Brazil nuts, oils, and medicinal plants, and now seeks to incorporate this component to carbon projects. This model promotes investments from carbon project developers into community-led sustainable practices, bringing long-term economic stability, particularly for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs), who are often excluded from conservation-driven financial benefits.
