PlanaFlor partners with Brazilian Forestry Service to strengthen and accelerate environmental regularisation in the country

The Brazilian Forestry Service (SFB) has signed a Cooperation Agreement with PlanaFlor, through BVRio, to drive environmental regularisation and enhance economic incentives for the conservation of native vegetation in Brazil. This partnership seeks to develop strategic actions within the framework of the Strategic Implementation Plan of the Forest Code, known as PlanaFlor.

Through the agreement, the institutions commit to jointly formulate strategies to promote the environmental regularisation of rural properties and encourage mechanisms for Legal Reserve compensation, such as Environmental Reserve Credits (CRAs). Furthermore, the cooperation includes activities aimed at improving regulations and instruments related to Environmental Regularisation Programmes (PRAs) and Degraded Area Recovery Projects (PRADAs), including the enhancement of procedures and public policies on the matter.

“The actions outlined in this cooperation are timely and align with the institutional strategies of the SFB. We believe this partnership can provide valuable technical inputs to improve the implementation of strategies and public policies related to the environmental regularisation of rural properties.” Marcus Vinícius da Silva Alves, Acting Director-General of the Brazilian Forest Service

The cooperation reinforces the commitment of the involved organisations to environmental conservation and sustainable development, contributing to the creation of solutions that reconcile natural resource protection with Brazilian agricultural production.
