The Oga REDD+ Project was born out of a commitment to protect the Amazon

and strengthen local communities that depend on the forest for their livelihoods. In a region under threat from deforestation, the project works to conserve biodiversity, promote sustainable land management, and create opportunities that value traditional knowledge and the local economy. The initiative invests in environmental monitoring, ecological restoration, and community training, ensuring that the forest remains standing while driving a fairer and more sustainable development model.
