Project Description
The Sítio Jasmin ARR Project is located in the municipality of Queluz, São Paulo, Brazil. The project site, historically used for cattle ranching, features a small remnant of native forest but was predominantly characterized by degraded pasturelands at the time of acquisition.
In 2023, property owners André Clark Juliano and Ana Paula Lepique initiated a land-use transition focused on ecological restoration through active reforestation with native species. The expected issuance and sale of carbon credits, derived from the sequestration of atmospheric CO₂ in tree biomass, provides an innovative revenue stream to support the project's long-term viability and scalability. The project will reestablish native forest cover, restore ecosystem functionality, and generate environmental services.
For clarity, the project does not overlap with the forest fragment as appears in this mapbox baselayer, which is not as precise as our RTK mapping.
Stakeholders and local communities involved in the project
André Clark Juliano and Ana Paula Lepique are the owners of the rural property. They have the support of the local community and neighbors, and the planting was carried out by a company from the same municipality.
Project Goals
The main goals of the Sítio Jasmin ARR Project are:
Ecological Restoration: Recover degraded lands through reforestation using native Atlantic Forest species, reestablishing functional ecosystems.
Sustainable Rural Development: Create a replicable, sustainable land management model that demonstrates how rural properties can align economic viability with environmental stewardship through Nature-Based Solutions and carbon markets.
Co-benefits
Beyond carbon sequestration, the project delivers additional environmental and social benefits:
Biodiversity Conservation – Restoration will create habitats, enhance ecological connectivity, and support native flora and fauna recovery in areas fragmented by agriculture.
Water Resource Protection – Restored vegetation improves infiltration, reduces runoff and erosion, and recharges aquifers, supporting regional water security.
Local Socioeconomic Development – The project promotes local jobs by hiring restoration companies from Queluz, boosts the economy, and builds community capacity.
Landscape Resilience – The restored ecosystem enhances resilience to climate extremes like droughts and heavy rains, benefiting biodiversity and local communities.
