IMPLEMENTA SP
The Implementa SP project identifies priority areas
for forest restoration in the state of São Paulo,
with the purpose of fulfilling legal requirements
under the new Forest Code. In partnership
with the State Environmental Department and
the Fapesp Thematic Project team, WRI Brasil
has conducted analyses to map these areas.
The effort involves identifying the areas most
suited to restoration with natural regeneration,
as well as water issues, assessing the deficit
and/or availability of water resources in
each area. The project also mapped existing
initiatives, with the aim of compiling updated
information about forest restoration in the
state of São Paulo. Lastly, an analysis was also
performed on state liability, outlining the area
to be recovered in line with the Forest Code.
OTHER INITIATIVES
Together with the previously described projects,
WRI Brasil Forests Program worked on a
series of other actions throughout the year:
■ The team made contributions to the short,
medium and long-term outlook of the Brazil
Climate, Forests and Agriculture Coalition in
supporting the development of studies and
mobilizing actors to build R&D platforms
for native species silviculture in Brazil.
■WRI Brasil joined in the preparation of
the 2030-2050 vision for forests and
agriculture in Brazil, as joint leader of
the Native Forests Coalition Forum.
Furthermore, the Forests program supports
the Atlantic Forest Restoration Pact,
participating on the coordination board and in
the thematic group Gender and Restoration.
Throughout 2018, WRI Brasil also mapped
and monitored restoration. The Forests team
acted on three fronts: the development of
a methodology to identify potential areas
for restoration, based on available satellite
images; identification of important areas
for restoration to reduce sedimentation
and, through this, maintain and improve
the quality of water resources; and the
development of project portals containing
spatial data on the Global Forest Watch
platform, using the MapBuilder tool.
