BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group has closed a record $1.24 billion fund dedicated to reforestation in Latin America. The strategy aims to restore 660,000 acres of degraded land, primarily in Brazil, by balancing certified commercial forestry with native habitat restoration. This investment highlights the growing role of nature-based solutions in climate finance. By combining timber revenue with carbon credits and biodiversity protection, the project seeks to scale carbon removal while supporting local economies and protecting the biodiverse Cerrado biome.
