Cryptocurrency company partnered with indigenous people in Brazil for carbon credit, and National Indian Agency saw risks

Enterprise wanted to convert credits into crypto assets to be sold to individuals; ‘we decided to stop the project’, says partner

ALT

A document from Funai (National Foundation of Indigenous Peoples), obtained by Folha, points out the performance of a company from the cryptocurrency market in an indigenous land in Pará, which involved the elaboration of a contract draft for the generation of carbon credits in the territory. These credits would be converted into crypto assets to be offered for sale.

In the document, Funai recommended that the contract not be carried out and that the Aikewara Suruí, from the Sororó Indigenous Land, be guided on “the risks inherent in accepting such a commitment”, mainly due to “the history of the company and its legal representative”.

The company is Green Forever —with the corporate name Green Tecnologia Ambiental—, headquartered in Parauapebas (PA). It is part of the group Green Forever Coin, which operates in the cryptocurrency market, an asset restricted to digital environments. Green Forever Coin launched a digital asset — a utility token, according to the company — called GFCO2, which was offered for sale both on the company’s website and in a fundraising campaign.
