A. STRATEGIC CONTEXT
1. State of Paraná and Sector Issue
The Brazil’s history is marked by the degradation of the natural sources and by
the forestry exploration. The degradation of the Amazon Forest and the Atlantic Forest
Biome has internationally attention because it is one of the most important tropical
ecosystems.
The Atlantic Forest is the world’s second forest threat to extinction and when
the first Europeans arrived in Brazil, it covered 15% of the Brazilian territory, an area
equivalent to 1.306.421 km². Nowadays, this forest is reduced to 7,84% of its original
area, occupying only 97.596 km², it is found largely fragmented and it shelter more
than 20.000 species of which 8.000 are endemic. It is also considered the world’s
richest forest in diversity of trees.
It is estimated that 1,6 million species of animals can be found in the Atlantic
Forest Biome. It has been already catalogued 250 species of mammals, 1.023 species
of birds, 340 species of amphibians and 200 species of reptiles. About 120 million
people live in this biome, which means that 70% of the population depends not only on
the preservation and conservation of the remnant forest, but also the maintenance of
water sources that supply cities and communities and helps the climate, the
temperature, the humidity and the rains assuring the soil fertility.
The Brazilian Civil Code of 1988 puts this biome as a national heritage and the
law number 11.428 of December 22nd, 2006 is specific to the Atlantic Forest.
The State of Paraná is one of the 26 states of Brazil and it is located in the
South region. It is bordered by São Paulo State to the North, Santa Catarina State to
the South, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Argentina and Paraguay to the West and by the
Atlantic Ocean to the East. It has an area of 199.880 km² and its capitol is Curitiba.
Others important cities are Londrina, Maringá, Foz do Iguaçu, Ponta Grossa, Cascavel,
Guarapuava e Paranaguá. The Curitiba Metropolitan Area has also cities with
economic importance such as São José dos Pinhais and Araucária.
The Atlantic Forest corresponded to 97% of the Paraná territory, and today it is
reduced to 18% of its original area.
The araucaria or araucariapine (Araucaria angustifolia) is considered the tree
symbol of the State and it can grow up to 30 50 meters and it can live up to 200 – 300
years. This tree is found in the Mixed Ombrophilous Forest also know as Araucária
Forest which had occupied 49,8% of the Paraná forestry cover.

The State of Paraná is located between the latitudes 22º 29’30’’ and 26º 42’
59’’, and the longitudes 48º 02´24”” and 54º 37” 38””. According to the Köppen system,
the climate in the North, Northeast and West Paraná is classified as Cfa, where the
weather is temperate and humid with a hot summer. The reforestation of the project
occurred in regions with this type of climate. In the South and Southeast Paraná the
climate is Cfb, where the weather is temperate, humid with a soft summer and with the
frequent occurrence of frosts.
The State is formed by different phytogeographical regions resulted from
geomorphological and climate peculiarities of each region. The floristic composition is
composed by the Atlantic Forest Biome, which corresponds to different ecosystems,
such as Ombrophilous Dense Atlantic Forest, Mixed Ombrophilous Forest,
Semideciduous Seasonal Forest, Steppe (Fields), herbaceous vegetation, mangroves,
“várzea” and rupestrian vegetation. There is also a remnant of the “cerrado” with
savanna vegetation.
The State of Paraná has 16 hydrographic watersheds: Cinzas, Iguaçu, Itararé,
Ivaí, Litorânea, Paraná 1,2,3, Paranapanema 1,2,3,4, Piquiri, Pirapó, Ribeira, Tibagi.
Historically, the State of Paraná has the land use based on agricultural activities
of corn, soy, sugar cane, wheat cultivars and pasture areas, actions that had
contributed for the degradation of the soil and the forests. The unsustainable land use,
especially the riparian forests have affected not only the ecosystems but also the loss
of biodiversity, increased carbon emissions and others ecological and socioeconomic
impacts.
The riparian zone has a range of environmental functions such as the
maintenance of the soil stability and the balance of the microclimate. It also facilitates
the infiltration of the rainwater, regulates the cycle of water and prevents the erosion
and floods. The Brazilian Forestry Code (Law number 4.765/65) defines the riparian
zone as “permanent preservation area” and the length of the riparian forest that must
be preserved changes according to the width of the water body.
The State of Paraná is the only state in Brazil with a governmental program
specific to perform the restoration of the riparian forests.
2. Riparian Forest Program of the State of Paraná
The Riparian Forest Program (RFP) of the State of Paraná began in 2003 and it
does the riparian forest recovery through the native seedlings planting and with the
abandon of the area so that the vegetation can be recovered naturally. Until now, more
than 10.000ha was abandoned to natural recovery, more than 84 millions native
seedlings were planted improving the environment and benefiting more than 125.000
farmers in all over the state.
Besides these direct results, the RFP’s characteristics and size also have
indirect results such as the involvement and awareness of the society to the
importance to accomplish activities to the environmental recovery. The RFP has
already formalized more than 300 partnerships with cities, agricultural schools,
Universities, Centers for Juvenile Offenders, penitentiaries, The Sanitation Company of
Paraná, and others private and public institutions which allowed the construction of 350
nurseries that together produce 20 million seedling per year.
To perform the reforestations, it is organized annual campaigns, which involve
more than 800 technicians and farmers in the State of Paraná. To obtain the seedlings
and the technical support, the Environmental Institute of the Paraná State, the cities or
the Technical Assistance and Rural Extension Institute register the farmers with the
information about the area (address, size, GPS location) and with information about the
landowner (name, identity number). This information goes to an online database, which
is used to control and manage the seedling planting and give support to the inspections
and the monitoring activities.
To evaluate the efficacy of the seedling planting, the RFP performed a forestry
inventory in 247 farmers, which identified the seedling survival index of 58,4% and the
capture of 0,0044ton CO2 per individual per year. This value was obtained of 81 native
species and the plants originate from natural regeneration was disregarded.
Although the main action of the RFP is the seedlings planting, the abandon of
the areas with remnant native vegetation nearby is also important to create a seed
bank on the soil and to assurance the genetic quality of the new growing forest.
3. The Agreement between the State of Paraná and The Secretariat of
the Convention on Biological Diversity
During the COP8 in March 2006 in Curitiba, Paraná it was initiated agreements
between the Paraná State Government, through its Governor Mr. Roberto Requião and
the Secretary of the Secretariat of the Convention to Biological Diversity (SCBD) Mr.
Ahmed Djoghlaf. The negotiations culminated in the development of activities of the
Riparian Forest Program and the planting of 8 million native seedlings in Paraná on
that year. Due the size and magnitude of the RPF actions, those negotiations
culminated in the sign, during COP 9 in Bonn, Germany, in 2008 of the agreement
between the Paraná State Government and SCBD.
B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1. Project Development Objective
• The State of Paraná will, through its Riparian Forest Program, offset SCBD
emissions from 2008 to 2010, estimated at 10.100 equivalent tones of CO2, by
planting approximately 100 hectares with native trees (72 hectares will be
planted with up to 67 native species, the remaining 28 hectares will preferably
regenerate naturally) in the State of Paraná.
• Paraná will certify this offset internally, through inventories reported by the
government of Paraná through the State Secretary of the Environment and
Water Resources to the Secretariat once a year.
• The offset period for calculations will be 30 years, although the State of Paraná
commits to support the reforested areas in permanence.
• The Paraná State, through the State Secretary of the Environment and Water
Resources will send the SCBD all relevant information on the area and the
planting, including the geographical coordinates of the forested area,
description of procedures and species used, images of the activities and area
and a copy of the contractual arrangement with the landowner(s), by October
2008
• The SCBD will pursue options to identify a specialist to certify Paraná's Riparian
Forest Program for the voluntary carbon offset market and to facilitate Paraná’s
participation in the market under the most favorable arrangements.
• The SCBD proposes to use the Riparian Forest Program as a case study for
the 2010 biodiversity target. To this end, the State of Paraná will document this
offset, and the entire program, so that it can be presented jointly at COP 10.
The longterm restoration proposed by this project will provide the development
of tools and mechanisms to improve the social economic livelihoods of the rural
communities leading to a sustainable land use. The reforestation and protection of the
chosen areas will protect innumerous wildlife species that live in these last remnants
ecosystems.
The State of Paraná will be benefit by the increase of the forestry cover and the
maintenance of the water sources. The Paraná will also gain the experience of making
a neutralization carbon project that can be use an example to further initiatives.
The global gains of this project are the adoptions of sustainable actions,
especially land use actions and the awareness of the population to the importance of
protecting the water sources. Besides, this project will provide as direct result the
carbon sequestration reducing the negatives effects of the global warming.
C. IMPLEMENTATION
1. Partnership Arrangements
The farmers and the Secretariat of the Environment and Water Sources signed
a cooperation term to guarantee the landowner’s participation in the reforestation
activities and maintenance of the conditions that allow the development of the
seedlings.
2. Location
All areas of this project are located in the riparian zone of the Atlantic Forest
Biome, in the Semideciduous Seasonal Forest ecosystem which has as main
characteristic the occurrence of two defined seasons, one rainy and other dry. Due the
alternating of a hot and rainy summers to cold and dry winters, about 20 to 50% of the
trees are deciduous and loses their leaves in response to the water deficiency and the
decline of the temperature during the coldest months. In the State of Paraná this
ecosystem originally occupied 37,6% of the forestry cover and it has been already
catalogued 213 species of trees of which 20% are exclusive to this type of forest.
The reforestations occurred in 3 different regions of the State of Paraná:
IguaçuParaná Biodiversity Corridor, Piquiri Watershed and Ivaí Watershed. The
planting is located in 58 different properties, in 4 cities and it totalizes 118,165ha.
2.1 The IguaçuParaná Biodiversity Corridor
The IguaçuParaná Biodiversity Corridor is located in 26 municipalities in
Southeast and West Paraná and it is visually fragmented in 3 portions that are
connected to the Iguaçu Nation Park. The fragmented forests that can be visualized
are the Cabeça de Cachorro State Park and the Rio Guarani State Park. The economic
activities are based on agriculture and livestock. The watersheds found in this
biodiversity corridor are the Iguaçu Watershed and the Paraná III Watershed. Thus,
The Iguaçu Paraná Biodiversity Corridor is located in the transition of the
Semideciduous Seasonal Forest and the Mixed Ombrophilous Forest.
There are 9 reforestations areas located in the IguaçuParaná Biodiversity
Corridor and they belong to the Corvo Branco River. This river is connected to the
Itaipu Binacional Poligonal and to the Cabeça do Cachorro State Park and it
establishes a biodiversity corridor with the Iguaçu National Park. These areas are
situated in 2 cities, Diamante D’Oeste and São José das Palmeiras. It was planted
23.932 seedlings in 55,27 ha.

2.2 Piquiri Watershed
The Piquiri Watershed has an area of 24.731 km². It is composed by the
Semideciduous Seasonal Forest and the Mixed Ombrophilous Forest. There are 40
reforestation areas located in the Center West region, in the city of Goioerê on the
bank of the Águas Claras River. These areas are situated in an ecological corridor with
26,5 km of extension and it connects two Natural Patrimony Private Reserve to the
Antonio Sestak Municipal Natural Park. One Natural Patrimony Private Reserve is
Moreira Sales, with 219,6ha of native forest remnant of the Semidecidous Seasonal
Forest and another one is Monte Cristo, with 510ha of native forest remnant. It was
planted 61.650 seedlings in 22,233 ha.

Table 2. Landowners of the Piquiri Watershed
2.3 Ivaí Watershed
The Ivaí Watershed has its entire extension included in the Paraná territory and
the original forest was the Semidecidous Seasonal Forest. Nowadays the riparian zone
is largely fragmented because of the progress of the secondary vegetation originated
from the land use by agricultural activities and livestock.
The reforestations areas are located on the riparian forest of the Barbacena
River and São Carlos River, both supply the city of São Pedro do Ivaí. They are also
situated in the Barbacena Natural Patrimony Private Reserve, which surrounds
Ivaicana Agropecuária Limitada Industry of Sugar and Alcohol. It was planted 78.145
seedlings in 40,662 ha.

3. Carbon Sequestration and Eligibility Analysis
To restore eligible sections as Permanent Protected Areas (riparian forests) for
forest carbon projects the carbon sinks considered in this project to estimate the
carbon neutralization project are listed in Table 4.

Dead wood No Conservative approachLitter No Conservative approachSoil No Conservative approach
Table 4. Carbon sinks used to estimate the total carbon for the project
The following parameters were considered in calculating carbon benefits:
• Project size: 100 ha under restoration in the riparian forest
• Project duration: 30 years
• Planting duration: 1 years
A baseline was established by assessing current land use and tree cover and
how they have changed during the last 16 years (1990). With that knowledge, we were
able to locate areas eligible for carbon projects and to determine the rate of
deforestation and regeneration in the project area.
Scenarios for Land Use Change With Project and Without Project: To determine
the baseline Without Project (business as usual) scenario, we tested and applied a
simple land use change detection methodology for the 16 years from 1990 to 2006.
Without Project With Project
Deforested / degraded areas, where economic activities have already been developed, tend to remain
deforested.
Restore deforested / degraded areas.
Table 5. Scenarios for Land Use Change with and Without Project
Eligibility Analysis: Based on CDM eligibility rules, no forest can be present
within the project boundaries between December 31, 1989, and the start of the project
activity. Proof of forest absence could take the form of aerial photographs or satellite
imagery from 1990 or before, or official government documentation confirming the lack
of forests. Where proof does not exist, multiple independent, officially witnessed
statements by local community members are sufficient.
Evidence of continued forest absence since 1989 will also be needed using
similar forms of proof. From the 19902006 crosstabulation (multitemporal analysis),
we have not been able to identify deforestation and natural regeneration in the project
area. This happened because the resolution of 1990 satellite image it not good enough
to detect deforestation in small plots The planted area has the same width as one pixel
of the satellite image.
To confirm the eligibility of the selected areas it was carried out a survey
with local residents. Through this search was confirmed that deforestation happened
before 1990 in the region and therefore, we can say that all the planted areas are
eligibility of the forest carbon project under the CDM eligibility rule.
Carbon Sequestration Potential: To establish the project baseline and to
calculate carbon sequestration for the Without Project scenario, an average carbon
increment of 2,85 equivalent tons of CO2 per ha.year was used. Growth rates were
based on available information about the region.
The total amount of CO2 estimated to be sequestered over 30 years by planting
native species or assisting regeneration in riparian zones is 10.100 equivalent tons of
CO2.
The annual carbon increment (2,85tCO2e ha.year) was obtained dividing by the
total volume of the emissions (10.100tCO2 e) that will be offset by this project by the
restoration area and by the 30year interval.
4. Monitoring and Evaluation
Before the reforestation, the areas located in the IguaçuParaná Biodiversity
Corridor were used to livestock, and the areas located in the Piquiri and Ivaí Watershed
were used to cultivate corn and sugar cane.
Those riparian zones are surrounded with a native forest remnant largely
fragmented disrespecting the minimum length of the riparian forest that must be
preserved permanently according to the Brazilian Federal Forestry Law.
After this prior diagnostic it was defined two main strategies to perform the
recovery of the degraded areas. One is the isolation with wire fences and the seedlings
planting in partial area and another is the seedling planting in total area.
It was done the isolation with wire fences and the seedlings planting in the
pasture areas situated in the IguaçuParaná Biodiversity Corridor. The fences
guarantee that no cattle or bull transit in the areas destroying the seedlings and it
delimit the length of the riparian forest that must not be use to agricultural activities.
Natural recovery was found in several stages and the seedling planting was done to
accelerate the recovery process.
The isolation of the areas with wire fences was an incentive of the Biodiversity
Corridor Program of the Paraná State, another governmental program that works in
partnership with the Riparian Forest Program.
The agricultural activities in the riparian forests of the Piquiri and Ivaí
Watersheds were removed to allow the seedlings planting. The isolation with wire
fences was not necessary because of the absence of the livestock. Although these
areas are surrounded with a native forest remnant, the natural recovery is still in early
stage because of the intensive agricultural activities and unsustainable land use.
The reforestations happened in May 2008 and after 3 months an inspection
identified the seedling survival index of 98%, the total of 163.727 seedlings planted and
118,165ha of riparian forest were reforested.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
between
The Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity
and
The Governor of the State of Paraná
of the Republic of Brazil
Recalling the commitment of the Secretary General of the United Nations for carbon
neutral operations of the United Nations,
Recalling the Greening Strategy of the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological
Diversity (CBD), a report on which will be presented to the Parties at COP 9,
Recalling the memorandum of understanding between the Secretariat of the
Convention on Biological Diversity and His Excellency Mr. Roberto Requiao, Governor
of the State of Paraná, Brazil, on offsetting the environmental impact of the third
meeting of the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety and the eighth meeting
of the Conference of the Parties to the CBD, signed in Curitiba, Brazil on 31 March
2006;
1. The Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Governor of
the State of Paraná hereby agree that the State of Paraná will, through its
Riparian Forest Program, offset SCBD emissions from 2008 to 2010, estimated
at 10,100 equivalent tonnes of CO2, by planting approximately 100 hectares
with native trees (72 hectares will be planted with up to 67 native species, the
remaining 28 hectares will preferably regenerate naturally) in the State of
Paraná.
2. Paraná will certify this offset internally, through inventories reported by the
government of Paraná through the State Secretary of the Environment and
Water Resources to the Secretariat once a year.
3. The offset period for calculations will be 30 years, although the State of Paraná
commits to support the reforested areas in permanence.
4. The Paraná State, through the State Secretary of the Environment and Water
Resources will send the SCBD all relevant information on the area and the
planting, including the geographical coordinates of the forested area,
description of procedures and species used, images of the activities and area
and a copy of the contractual arrangement with the landowner(s), by October
2008.
5. The SCBD will pursue options to indentify a specialist to certify Paraná's
Riparian Forest Program for the voluntary carbon offset market and to facilitate
Paraná’s participation in the market under the most favourable arrangements.
6. The SCBD proposes to use the Riparian Forest Program as a case study for
the 2010 biodiversity target. To this end, the State of Paraná will document this
offset, and the entire programme, so that it can be presented jointly at COP 10.
Signed this twentyseventh day of May 2008 in Bonn, Germany, at the margins of the
ninth Conference of the Parties to the CBD.
For and on behalf of the Secretariat of the
Convention on Biological Diversity
