A methodological procedure for data acquisition and structuring of greenhouse gas removal projects through the conservation of native private forests across all Brazilian biomes, aimed at reducing real emissions caused by land-use changes — primarily deforestation and forest degradation. It recognizes the value of existing carbon stocks and the potential for new removals through biodiversity conservation and the maintenance of ecosystem services, while also highlighting qualitative co-benefit indicators related to community, biodiversity, and water resources.
