Large-scale REDD+ projects to conserve the Paraguayan Chaco’s fast disappearing forest carbon sinks
Over ons
Founded in early 2019 in Netherlands, Quadriz is today the largest carbon offset project developer in Paraguay, with local offices in Asunción and Alto Paraguay. Quadriz develops and manages Nature-based solutions (NBS) through high-impact verified carbon offsetting projects. Quadriz is dedicated to conserve a maximum of the native forest lands of the Gran Chaco, South America’s second largest forest area. The Chaco forest area has one of richest biodiversity concentrations on the planet, but sadly also ranks as one of the world’s absolute deforestation hotspots due to the region’s increasing cattle ranching industry. In October 2020, Quadriz announced the commencement of its first REDD+ project named “Corazón Verde del Chaco”, due to its location in the “Green Heart” of the Paraguayan Chaco. This high-impact project initially conserves 32,000 hectares (79,000 acres) of critical Chaco forest and is designed, registered and verified under two leading carbon standards known as the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standard (CCBS) with Gold Distinction for Exceptional Biodiversity Benefits. The Project preserves endangered species and a wide range of ecosystem services, provides an economic alternative to local communities, and mitigates the release of an estimated 5.6 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions over the first 10 years of the Project. Through the sale and delivery of Verified Carbon Units (VCUs), Quadriz provides access for corporates to offset their unavoidable carbon emissions in a safe and viable manner, whilst taking immediate action to stop the ongoing large-scale deforestation of one of the world's largest forest carbon sinks as well as most threatened forest areas, The Gran Chaco in Paraguay. Quadriz generates a Quadruple Impact through carbon sequestration and the conservation of native primary forests, biodiversity and local communities.

Quadriz is attending the S&P Global Carbon Markets Conference 2024, in Barcelona. We’re welcomed to an air of positivity and momentum here at the S&P Global Carbon Markets Conference, closing out the year with strong signs of recovery in the global carbon market. Over the next two days, we’ll hear from leaders from the private and public sectors seeking to support the development of market based mechanisms that are maturing after many years. We’ll be dissecting the outcomes from COP-29 in Baku, exploring the continuing maturation of integrity measures from the IC-VCM and helping corporate buyers secure their paths to Net Zero through Nature-Based solutions. Get in touch if you would like to schedule an on-site meeting in Barcelona with Nicholas O'Brien (Head of Carbon Finance) 📨 [email protected] #CarbonMarkets #Conference #Quadriz

We share images of our participation in the last event “Sustainable Forest Investment: Challenges and Opportunities for Paraguay and the Region”. Quadriz and Investancia has been part of the panel discussion on integrity in VCM projects in Paraguay, where we debated together with representatives of REDIEX Paraguay, Verra and Ministerio del Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible de Paraguay on how to promote high quality carbon credits in the country.

Carbon project auditors, known as Verification Bodies (VVBs), play a crucial role in the third-party verification of carbon projects to ensure integrity and high quality. AENOR is the third party auditor for the 2nd verification of the REED+ Corazón Verde del Chaco Project. Watch Quadriz ’ latest video, where the lead VVB at Aenor explains the verification process as a key part.

REDD+ Projects and Biodiversity: How Corazón Verde del Chaco Mitigates Historic Threats to Species Working closely with Alberto Esquivel Mattos, PhD in Conservation Biology and Head of Biodiversity Monitoring at Quadriz , we explored how this project positively impacts the biodiversity of the Chaco region. By preventing deforestation across 20,515 hectares and reducing illegal hunting over 32,000 hectares, we've seen endangered species like jaguars, tapirs, and giant anteaters thrive. Wildlife cameras have captured these species raising their young, showing that the project is creating safe, preserved habitats.

Quadriz attends Day 2 of IETA North America Climate Summit - NACS 2024 in New York. The first plenary of the morning involved discussion included representatives from the UNFCCC, EU Commission, Singaporean Ambassador for Climate Action, and Ministry of Finance, Benin - meeting to discuss where climate action, carbon markets and geopolitics intersect. All in attendance are aware of a fragile geopolitical environment - yet the urgency to act is apparent. We will closely follow all sessions and discussions during the week. Get in touch if you would like to schedule an on-site meeting in New York City with Christian Nielsen, our Chief Commercial Officer and Nicholas O'Brien our Senior Sales and Business Associate to discuss collaboration opportunities, VCU offtakes, carbon finance and/or get to learn more about our REDD+ and ARR carbon projects.
