In Coahuila, arid ecosystems dominate much of the landscape, and restoration and protection efforts can yield significant benefits. Rehabilitating degraded soils, conserving native flora, and promoting sustainable grazing practices can help capture carbon in both vegetation and soils while improving biodiversity and water infiltration.

The region experiences a subtropical climate with marked dry and wet seasons, supporting unique wildlife such as the jaguar (Panthera onca), giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla), and countless bird species. However, this ecosystem faces intense pressures from agricultural expansion, deforestation, and unsustainable cattle ranching, which have led to habitat fragmentation, soil degradation, and reduced water availability. Protecting this region ensures the survival of its biodiversity and maintains essential ecological processes that sustain both wildlife and human communities.

Restoration efforts in Salta’s Chaco forests and transitional wetlands can play a crucial role in mitigating climate change and improving local resilience. Conservation initiatives in this region are key not only to contribute to national and global conservation goals but also strengthen the livelihoods of rural communities. By integrating ecological restoration with sustainable production systems and community-led management, Salta can become a model for balancing conservation and development in South America’s dry forest regions.

Preserving this area is essential not only for its biodiversity but also for its role in regulating the global climate and hydrological cycles. The region’s forests act as major carbon sinks, capturing vast amounts of CO₂, while its wetlands and rivers maintain water quality and stabilize regional rainfall patterns. Protecting this ecosystem safeguards invaluable genetic resources, supports indigenous knowledge systems, and helps mitigate the impacts of deforestation and climate change. Conservation in this part of Ecuador is thus both a local and global priority—essential for maintaining ecological balance, cultural heritage, and the planet’s long-term resilience.

The Biocultural Approach is a fundamental pillar of this project, as mandated by the DEV Carbon Standard, and special social safeguards apply to this project since the project is built with a indigenous community. Local traditional and ancestral knowledge will be taken into account in all stages of the project, and there are mechanisms in place to enable a balanced and dynamic relation between the technical actors of the DEV carbon ecosystem and the local community throughout the project.

Restoration initiatives in La Pampa—such as reestablishing native grasslands, preventing overgrazing, and regenerating caldén forests—can significantly enhance the region’s carbon sequestration capacity while restoring the natural functions of the landscape. Protecting remnants of native vegetation and implementing sustainable land management practices will also help prevent desertification, a growing concern under changing climate conditions.

The coastal ecosystems of Rocha and Maldonado hold significant potential for carbon capture and long-term storage, particularly through the conservation and regeneration of wetlands, grasslands, and native coastal forests. These ecosystems store carbon both above ground—in vegetation—and below ground, in soils and peat-rich sediments that act as natural carbon sinks. Restoration efforts such as replanting native vegetation, managing grazing intensity, and rehabilitating degraded wetlands can substantially enhance carbon sequestration while improving habitat connectivity and water quality.
