Prepared by Biofílica Investimentos Ambientais S.A. Validation Body RINA Services S.p.A. (RINA) Project Lifetime July 8, 2014 through July 7, 2044 - 30 years GHG Accounting Period July 8, 2014 through July 7, 2044 - 30 years History of CCB Status First validation attempt The Project meets the criterion of the GL3 Gold Level. – Exceptional Benefits to Biodiversity, according to the vulnerability criterion described by CCBS for presenting critically endangered or threatened species (according to the IUCN Red List). The Jari/Pará REDD+ Golden Level Criteria Project Area has an important role in conserving the biodiversity of the site and the activities proposed in the Project, as monitoring the biodiversity and incentives to carry out scientific research, have the purpose of helping to maintain this conservation. First Verification in CCBS every three years after validation/verification Expected Verification and thereafter every two years throughout the Project life cycle. Schedule VCS checks are expected every three years.
