You are Invited!

The Surui Tribe, Forest Trends, the State of Acre, and other partners invite you to a unique opportunity to discuss the complex array of ingredients for successful indigenous-led REDD+ projects. An agenda for the discussions with speaker profiles is now available HERE.

The Paiter Surui tribe, under the leadership of Chief Almir Surui, with technical support from Forest Trends and other partners, has been working for over 5 years to protect their territory in the Amazon Basin from illegal logging and mining threats. This initiative has recently become the first-ever indigenous-led REDD project to be validated by the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and the Climate, Community, and Biodiversity Project Design Gold Standard (CCB Standard). The validation is pathbreaking news for the project, 'REDD for Conservation of Amazon Rainforest in the Surui Indigenous Territory, Brazil' and the progress of REDD worldwide.

We hope you can join us in reflecting on this important development at 4pm on May 14 at the Aspen Institute, Washington, DC! Please click the link below to RSVP.
