Paiter-Surui volunteers alongside "forest engineers" from a Brazillian Government support program using GPS equipment to map and measure the trees and vegetation in the "7th September Indian Reserve" in Rondônia, Brazil. This information is intended to later be used to calculate the forest carbon content as part of REDD+, which stands for "Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation" and is enshrined in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. The "Forest Carbon Project" was initiated by the Patier-Surui in 2009 and was the first indigenous-led conservation project financed through the sale of carbon offsets.
