The Trocano Araretama Project REDD+: Real Climate Action in Borba, Amazonas
Forest Protection with Community Impact at it's Heart
The Trocano Project REDD+ is a forest conservation and sustainable development initiative located in the municipality of Borba, in the Amazonas region of Brazil. Despite the name, “Trocano” refers to the project itself — not a location — and the initiative is firmly rooted in protecting rainforest and supporting communities across the munipality of Borba.
Led by Go Balance, the Trocano Project REDD is a standout example of a high-integrity, nature-based solution that combines climate action with social development. The project prevents carbon emissions by avoiding deforestation across a vast area of rainforest, helping to preserve biodiversity and promote communitiy empowerment.
Why the Trocano Project Matters
The Go Balance REDD Project isn't just about carbon. It's about people.
Through its REDD+ model, the project delivers real benefits to the communities of Borba, including clean water systems, healthcare support, environmental education, sustainable farming programmes, and fire prevention training. These initiatives are part of the project’s long-term commitment to ensuring that the rewards of climate finance are shared equitably and locally.
The Go Balance REDD project uses verified, risk-based carbon accounting and third-party auditing to ensure transparency, integrity, and measurable impact. It’s a project designed not just for carbon credit buyers, but for those who care about meaningful, on-the-ground results — for forests, for biodiversity, and for people.
How the Go Balance REDD+ Project delivers integrity
High-quality Natural Capital Credits
At the heart of the Trocano Project REDD+ is the belief that communities are not just stakeholders — they’re partners in protecting the forest. Every activity is developed in close collaboration with the people of Borba, ensuring that local knowledge, priorities and leadership shape the project’s direction.
As a result of this approach, the project achieves verified outcomes that go beyond carbon — which is why it qualifies to issue Natural Capital Credits.
These credits reflect not only the avoided emissions from deforestation, but also the broader social and environmental value delivered through the project’s community-driven model.
Features of the Trocano Araretama REDD Project
Real Impact Backed by Science and Transparency
One of the things that sets the Trocano Project REDD+ apart is its commitment to transparency and scientific monitoring. Using satellite data, risk-based carbon accounting, and third-party verification, the project ensures that every credit issued reflects real, measurable avoided emissions. This level of integrity helps build trust with buyers and stakeholders — and strengthens the reputation of the Go Balance REDD project as a credible, high-quality nature-based solution within the voluntary carbon market.
