Sustainable Agribusiness Model Preserves Amazon Biodiversity

The Amazon rainforest, one of the richest biomes on the planet, is facing challenges such as deforestation and loss of biodiversity. In this scenario, Grupo BBF (Brasil BioFuels) has emerged as an example of a company that reconciles economic development with environmental preservation. Through the sustainable cultivation of oil palm in degraded areas, the company contributes to soil recovery, carbon capture and, above all, the preservation of the region's rich fauna.

Biodiversity in Recovered Areas

In more than 75,000 hectares cultivated with oil palm in the states of Pará and Roraima, Grupo BBF has already recorded more than 5,000 wild animals, including more than 400 species. Among the animals found are reptiles, amphibians, birds, mammals and fish, some of which are classified as rare and endangered, such as the canastra armadillo, the giant anteater, the spider monkey and the peccary.

A Sustainable Agribusiness Model

Oil palm cultivation by Grupo BBF strictly follows Brazilian legislation, which is considered to be one of the strictest in the world. According to the Agroecological Zoning of Oil Palm (Decree 7.172), areas that were degraded by deforestation until 2007 in the Amazon are considered suitable for cultivation. In addition, the company invests in the preservation of Legal Reserve areas, further contributing to the protection and maintenance of the standing forest.

Beyond Biodiversity: Generating Income and Reducing Deforestation

Grupo BBF 's activities are not limited to environmental preservation. The company generates jobs and income for the local population, promoting social development in the region. In addition, a survey carried out using the "MapBiomas Alerta" monitoring platform shows that areas close to the company's operations have seen a reduction of up to 85% in deforestation, demonstrating the positive impact of sustainable agribusiness on protecting the Amazon rainforest.
