About the PSA Xingu Project
The PSA Xingu project aims to highlight conserved areas, generating economic value for those who protect the environment. Thus, in addition to conserving biodiversity, reducing emissions, and strengthening local communities, a real incentive for sustainable practices is created.
The project covers properties located in the Legal Amazon, in municipalities of the state of Pará, which have areas of preserved native vegetation in an alternative land-use zone. These areas are part of the project and will remain conserved throughout its duration.

Forest Inventory
A forest inventory was conducted to quantify the amount of above-ground carbon per hectare. During the inventory, aerial surveys were performed to show the quality of the flora present on the properties.
Carbon Measurement
Use of aerial surveys and advanced techniques to quantify above-ground carbon.
Field Data Collection
Researchers use specialized equipment to inventory flora and collect precise data.
Analysis and Processing
Collected data is processed to generate detailed information on forest quality and stock.
Stock Visualization
Visual representation helps understand the forest's carbon storage capacity.

Fauna Survey - Pik Vermelho Farm
A fauna survey was carried out to identify the biodiversity of the properties. The main records demonstrate the richness and preservation of the local ecosystem.
Mammals Found
Highlight: The Giant Anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla), a species classified as "Vulnerable," was recorded in the area. Its occurrence indicates a well-preserved environment with a low level of human interference.
Avifauna - Pik Vermelho Farm
The diversity of birds recorded demonstrates the environmental quality of the property, including rare and endangered species.
The Jacupiranga (Penelope pileata) is an endemic bird of the Amazon, found from the Madeira River to the Xingu. In the survey conducted, it was the most abundant species recorded, highlighting the relevance of the studied area as an essential refuge for its conservation.
Fauna Survey - Fazenda São Paulo
Fazenda São Paulo shows exceptional biodiversity, with records of rare species and indicators of preserved environments.
Mammals and Avifauna
Rare Species: The Rufous-backed Jacamar (Psophia dextralis) is a rare species, shy and difficult to observe directly. The species only occurs in well-preserved environments, with little interference and strong conservation!
Herpetofauna
Water Resources and Soil Carbon
Soil Carbon Quantification
Soil samples were collected to quantify soil carbon. The analyses resulted in an average of 553.28 tons per hectare.
Water Resources Assessment
An assessment of the properties' water resources was conducted to analyze water quality.
Parameters evaluated:
- Water Color
- Turbidity
- Odor
- Solid Residues
- Aquatic Foam
- Margins
- Sediments
- Vegetation
The Environmental Services Payment Project – PSA Xingu reaffirms its commitment to promoting concrete actions aimed at environmental conservation, biodiversity protection, and the sustainable use of natural resources. Through this initiative, the goal is not only to achieve emission reduction targets and net CO2 removals but also to generate lasting benefits for wildlife, water resources, and the quality of soil and air, effectively contributing to the sustainability and ecological balance of the region.
