The list of goods and services allowed to be exploited underconcession may include wood products, such as logs; non-wood products, such as oil, fruit, resin,ornamental and medicinal plants; residual wood material; and forest services, such as lodging,adventure sports, nature watching and visiting. It is important to highlight that the law allows for thesale of carbon credits in case of reforestation of degraded areas or conversion of areas to anotheruse. Therefore, where the government allows, forest concessions may be used as a tool for theimplementation of sustainable development projects aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.The Annual Plan for Forest Concessions (Plano Anual de Outorga Florestal - PAOF) has identifiedapproximately 4.3 million hectares of forest – located throughout the states of Acre, Amazonas, Paráand Rondônia – for concession in 2014.Lastly, in the urban field, the law allows for institutional agreements and urban consortiums for thepurpose of implementing a number of interventions and measures coordinated by the localgovernment with the participation of owners, residents, permanent users and private investors, withthe aim of implementing structural urban changes, social improvements, and environmental valuationin and for a specific area, resulting in the requalification of urban areas.13.
