Biodiversity GRI 3-3: Management of material topic Maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) Blue-and-yellow macaw (Ara ararauna) Tamanduá-mirim (Tamandua tetradactyla) 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. 24 hours monitoring across our entire forest estate spanning 412,000 hectares Eldorado Brasil 50 Sustainability Report 2022 Foreword The Eldorado Way Corporate Governance Planet Stewardship People GRI Content 51▶> Index
