This region has long faced pressure from deforestation and illegal activities.

The concession will be divided into three forest management units as part of a strategy to expand the sustainable use of public forests in the Amazon region. Bids must be submitted by August, and the tender is expected to be conducted on the Brazilian Stock Exchange (B3). According to the tender notice, this initiative will create 1,236 jobs and achieve a sustainable annual production of approximately 134,000 cubic meters of certified timber. The project plans to invest over 300 million reais in infrastructure during the 35-year concession period, with estimated operating costs of 1.78 billion reais. In addition to sustainable timber extraction, the concessionaire must invest approximately 2 million reais annually in actions such as scientific research, environmental monitoring, environmental education, and capacity building for local communities (including riverine populations and indigenous peoples).
