GRI 304-4
Throughout the Wildlife Monitoring and Conservation
Program, we develop initiatives aimed at preserving
endangered animal species. The Program is dedicated
to the animals that live in the vicinity of the power
plants in operation and under construction and it has
identified 31 species that are on the International Union
for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) list. Three of them
were chosen to be monitored: maned wolf, jaguar
and curassow.
In 2022, we requested the São Paulo
State Department of Infrastructure
and Environment (Sima) to include
a wild animal release area of almost
350 hectares.
Two species that circulate in our units got on the
monitoring radar this year: the aracuã-guarda-faca
(Ortalis remota), a critically endangered species, is
monitored in the area of influence of Água Vermelha
HPP, in the northeast of São Paulo, and the otter
(Lontra longicaudis), an almost endangered species,
found in the reservoir of Caconde HPP (SP). We also
continued with the Bare-Faced Curassow Project.
Since 2020, the project has been promoting the
preservation of this bird species (Crax fasciolata),
already rare in São Paulo, also in the surroundings of
the reservoir of Água Vermelha HPP. The species is
classified as "vulnerable" with regard to its risk
of extinction.
In 2022, we requested the São Paulo State
Department of Infrastructure and Environment (Sima)
to include a wild animal release area of almost 350
hectares, downstream from Promissão (SP). This
initiative will enable us to help the conservation of
fauna and, in the future, benefit from a possible
payment for environmental services (PSA) by the São
Paulo state government.
