The Babaçu Group’s vision is to become a major driving force to radically restore the habitats of the Amazon Rainforest and surrounding area of influence, while at the same time, improving the livelihood of the thousands of people currently living in it in conditions of poverty and inequality.
This will be achieved based on the following pillars:
Circular Economy: the Project will promote virtuous cycles of resource use minimization by designing processes and facilities to allow material reuse and nutrient recycling. Nothing is wasted.
Poverty to prosperity: achieving progress of the different communities comprised within the Project’s area of influence will always be a key objective. “Progress” will be measured based on the real needs of each community.
Present the fight against Climate Change: the economic sustainability of the Project lays on its potential to generate high quality Carbon Credits. Biochar will be produced and “sunk” into the ground to generate long term carbon sequestration, thus creating a robust means to channel the so much needed green investments against Climate Change. Habitat restoration and Sustainable
Agriculture: to be able to sink the Biochar, land is needed. Lot’s of it! The Project will purchase as much degraded land as it possibly can to enrich it with Biochar and then restore those lands through 03 regenerative agriculture management or reforestation.
