The long-term goal of this project is the consolidation in northwest Mato Grosso of an integrated matrix of different land uses consisting of contiguous blocks of intact primary forest cover on private lands, corridors of secondary regeneration and more intensive agrosilvopastoral systems and permanent forest management.

The project demonstrates a widely replicable, integrated approach to the protection and sustainable use of biodiversity on private lands to mitigate unsustainable pressures on biologically diverse habitats and secure global benefits through the conservation of native and endemic floral and faunal species in forested areas and soils. Project outputs include a greater emphasis on biodiversity protection in ecological-economic zoning and the identification of high biodiversity areas for protection.

There also is strengthened municipal planning, development of supportive policies and instruments and monitoring through the incorporation of biodiversity conservation values.
