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. 36 WRIbrasil.org.br WRI BRASIL 2018 ANNUAL REPORT 34 37
