PROJECT
SALTA ARGENTINA
First Certified REDD+
Project in Argentina
Selva de Urundel is the first REDD+ project certified in Argentina (Verra ID 3739).
Strategically located, the project represents an initial step in creating a valuable biological corridor between Calilegua and Baritú National Parks. Covering an area of approximately 50,000 hectares, the project plays a crucial role in preserving native forests, protecting numerous vulnerable species from illegal activities and forest fires. Furthermore, Selva de Urundel aims to enhance the quality of life for nearby communities through investments in areas such as community well-being, education, and waste management, among other initiatives. These efforts not only contribute to the prosperity of the local community but also bring benefits to the climate and biodiversity.

Nature and Community
Project
The REDD+ Selva de Urundel project aims to protect approximately 50,000 hectares of forest in the Yungas region in northern Argentina.
The Yungas are mountain forests of great importance due to their extraordinary biodiversity and the high-value ecosystem goods and services they provide, including rainwater capture and storage, as well as watershed regulation.
This region, which has reported an alarming deforestation rate in recent years, is now threatened by the constant expansion of agriculture, illegal logging, and increasingly frequent wildfires.
