Nideport Achieves CCB Gold Certification and Earns an A Rating from Sylvera for Its Vida Nativa Project

A new milestone in ecosystem restoration and high-integrity climate action.
Nideport has reached a significant milestone in its mission to restore ecosystems and drive high-impact climate action: its Selva Paranaense Vida Nativa project, developed in the province of Misiones, Argentina, has obtained CCB Gold certification under Verra’s international standards and received an A Rating from Sylvera, positioning it among the highest-quality forest projects worldwide.

The CCB Gold (Climate, Community & Biodiversity – Gold Level) certification represents the highest distinction awarded to projects that demonstrate exceptional and verifiable positive impacts across three key dimensions: climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and local community development. Fewer than 5% of projects worldwide achieve this standard.

In addition, Vida Nativa received an A Rating from Sylvera, one of the leading independent analysis and rating platforms in the voluntary carbon market. This rating places the project within the top 1% of IFM (Improved Forest Management) projects globally, making it the only Argentine project to achieve this rating to date.

These recognitions validate the project’s high environmental, technical, and social integrity, highlighting its additionality, permanence, carbon sequestration capacity, and operational transparency.

Technology and traceability as core pillars

The Vida Nativa project is supported by a proprietary technology platform developed by Nideport that integrates artificial intelligence, satellite imagery, autonomous drones, IoT sensors, live cameras, and camera traps, along with advanced individual tree georeferencing tools, LiDAR, and photogrammetry.

This infrastructure enables real-time monitoring of more than 22,800 hectares of Atlantic Forest, fire prevention, intrusion detection, and full traceability of restoration and conservation activities.

Beyond forest restoration and the conservation of threatened species, the project generates direct social impact through collaboration with local communities and Indigenous peoples, environmental education programs in schools, fire prevention training, and the strengthening of local economies.

These impacts are a core part of Nideport’s integrated approach, which understands climate action as a process that connects nature, territory, and people.

A scalable model of high integrity

The CCB Gold certification and Sylvera A Rating consolidate Nideport’s position as a regional benchmark in nature-based climate solutions and mark the beginning of a new growth phase, with the goal of restoring 45 million hectares by 2035 and scaling this model to other countries.
