Environmental and agricultural efforts in northern Brazil have focused on conservation and land restoration. In Acre, long-term voluntary initiatives have supported tracajá turtle reproduction by protecting eggs and releasing hatchlings into the Purus River. In Roraima, indigenous communities have successfully harvested corn following government-supported soil preparation and planting efforts.

Expanding on these regional developments, the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) has released R$ 18 million to initiate a large-scale agroforestry project in southern Roraima. This project, funded through the Climate Fund, aims to restore 2,000 hectares of degraded land by planting nearly 10 million seedlings, including economic crops and native timber species. The initiative is expected to create hundreds of jobs and remove approximately 33,900 tons of CO2 equivalent annually.
