***** AZFL ON MAJOR ALERT *****
Amazonas Florestal is a diversified timber company generating profit through innovative, sustainable management of its large tracts of land in the rainforests of Amazonas, Brazil. " This land, which has been in the families of management and shareholders for over fifty years, consists of 90,108 acres or over 141 square miles of virgin rainforest, is unencumbered by any debt, and has an appraised value of over US$47 million." Amazonas Florestal?s sustainable forest management strategy, with its green philosophy and method of cyclical harvesting, preserves ecosystems through habitat and water resource preservation, positioning it as an industry leader in responsible, eco-friendly timber practices.
Headquartered in Miami, FL, Amazonas? goal is to become the leader in sustainable forest management, creating revenue while protecting the biodiversity of the rainforest ecosystem and enhancing the lives of the people who live in it. Amazonas? business model relies on three distinct, responsible business initiatives and revenue streams. The first initiative, which is already in operations, is Sustainable Forestry and Timber Operations, by which Amazonas supplies hardwood timber to a diverse worldwide customer base. The other initiatives, which are currently being developed, are in the areas of Bio-mass Development, which creates revenues through the direct sale of clean energy; and Carbon Offsets, which are used to garner REDD Carbon Credit incentives for resale.
Amazonas and its people are committed stewards of the Fazenda Jatuarana, their large tract of Brazilian rainforest, and believe that an environmentally responsible company can be profitable and grow while leaving a positive impact on its land, its people, and the bio-diversity of the rainforest. Through a strategy of selective harvesting, biomass production, and conservation incentives, Amazonas Florestal not only protects one of the world?s greatest natural resources, it also makes preservation profitable.
