In Roraima, Brazil, the decarbonization company ZEG has implemented a conservation model in Caracaraí known as the Vale do Rio Branco project. This initiative covers 14,000 hectares of native vegetation and aims to provide a productive alternative to legal deforestation. 

By utilizing the carbon market, the project incentivizes landowners to maintain the standing Amazon biome rather than converting land for soybean cultivation. This model seeks to ensure economic competitiveness for producers while protecting local biodiversity, including species such as jaguars and giant anteaters.
