1st Issuance
Certified Area Potential
PSA Carbonflor is a totally new way of generating carbon credits through forest conservation. It was first used in Legado das Águas, the largest private Atlantic Forest reserve in the country, which is managed by Reservas Votorantim.
We teamed up with ECCON Soluções Ambientais to develop the project, which helps move the carbon market forward in a way that works for the unique features of Brazilian biomes, like the Atlantic Forest.
The C+ carbon credits generated by PSA Carbonflor reward owners who maintain a conserved area and carry out maintenance so that the territory remains biodiverse and healthy over the years. This guarantees ecosystem services for future generations.
• We’re excited to announce that the PSA methodology will soon be registered on the first Brazilian platform for carbon credit projects, developed by B3. This new platform is designed to make it easier to access information and speed up the issuance of these credits.
• The first report on adequacy to the methodology and monitoring report (RAMRM) is the PSA-Carbonflor-RARM-Legado-das-Aguas-09.2023;
• Complete methodology: Metodologia-PSA-Carbonflor_13.09.2023

Socio-environmental
co-benefits
Legado das Águas, is the largest private Atlantic Forest reserve in the country. It’s a rare find in an advanced stage of conservation, managed by Reservas Votorantim. At 31 thousand hectares, it reached an index of 93.86% in the PSA Carbonflor Indicator Matrix, showing the high quality of the credits generated. The territory and its management model have become a national model for the sustainable use of natural resources. They benefit more than 50 thousand people, directly and indirectly, through socio-environmental actions and the generation of employment and income. The work we do in the reserve helps us contribute to 14 of the 17 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15 and 17. Some of the main results are:
We’ve got over 70 projects, programs, and initiatives in areas like education, culture, health, sports and leisure, public management support, and production chain strengthening.
We’re working with 12 municipalities on socio-environmental actions, programs, and projects.
89,8% of the Legado das Águas workforce is from the Vale do Ribeira community.
57,1% being female leaders of Legado das Águas.
There are 809 animal species catalogued in Legado das Águas, 50 of which are threatened with extinction.
We’ve also cataloged 956 plant species, 9 of which are threatened with extinction.
We also made the discovery of the first two albino tapirs that are free in the wild.
We also rediscovered the Octomeria estrellensis orchid, which was thought to be extinct in the wild in the state of São Paulo, and we reintroduced it to its habitat.
We also registered the Godartiana byses butterfly, which is an extremely rare species. This was the first time it was recorded in the state of São Paulo.
We’ve got a rare record of the butterfly Prepona deiphile, a very rare species that had only been seen twice in the state of São Paulo, in the 1950s and 2000s.
We’ve also discovered a new species of the orchid is named Lepanthopsis legadensis, in honor of Legado, where it was identified.
The area is a priority for the conservation of the southern muriqui, as it houses the 3rd largest population of the species.
