Eldorado Brasil's forestry practices integrate
eucalyptus stands with the surrounding ecosystems.
Fazenda Santa Marina, a protected area in Três
Lagoas (MS), serves as a buffer zone that mitigates
potential negative impacts from external activities.
A diversity of wildlife thrives in the protected area's
116,000 hectares, which represent 28% of our total
forest estate. GRI 304-1, RR-FM-160 a.2
Our approach to biodiversity management involves
identifying, monitoring and managing the most
important ecosystems in our locations of operation.
We also identify process impacts in order to mitigate
negative aspects and enhance positive ones, while
protecting ecologically sensitive areas.
We have established a number of indicators to
track the restoration of previously disturbed land
(prior to our ownership or possession of the land)
in protected areas and legal reserves. Among these
indicators is Species diversity and number of indivi-
duals, which we track on a sampling basis across the
116,000 hectares of the protected area. There are no
critically endangered species within our operational
sites; 826 species of least concern have been identi-
fied. Among them, 13 are classified as endangered,
10 as vulnerable, and 12 as near threatened. A
1,341-hectare area within the Pântano Farm is desig-
nated as a High Conservation Value Area (AAVC),
playing a crucial role in biodiversity conservation
and providing environmental services such as flood
control, regulation of streamflow, and maintenance
of water quality. GRI 304-3, 304-4, RR-FM-160 a.3, RR-FM-160 a.4
Eldorado Brasil also has programs to enhance the
benefits generated by our eucalyptus plantations.
We have a framework by which we identify poten-
tial environmental impacts from our forestry-related
products, activities, and services. Water resources,
flora, fauna, and assets are regularly assessed.
Protected areas are monitored via plot sampling and
satellite imagery. Eldorado is committed to comba-
ting the conversion of native forests. GRI 304-2
We also have forest fire prevention programs aimed
at reducing fire damage in our own areas as well
as neighboring areas. In 2022, there was a 30%
reduction in area affected by wildfires compared
to the previous year. As part of our prevention
efforts,we organized forest fire training programs
for the general public as part of a comprehensive
campaign across rural areas.
Robust systems and advanced technologies enable
us to monitor our entire force portfolio 24/7. All
personnel involved receive regular training in fire
prevention practices, fire monitoring, protective
infrastructure, and communication. In 2022 we
trained over 745 fire responders.
