What he exists of common enters the installation of a thermoelectrial one in the Country of Wales, a socioambiental
project in the Island of the Banana plantation and the recurrent climatic alterations, indesejados fruits of the process of global heating? The reply it would be the
development of the social carbon concept, a technology that joins two important concepts, of ambient preservation and of social responsibility. The development of the project finished if transforming into a pioneering technology that incluía the construction of pointers of carbon absorption in the different vegetations local it, the
generation of scientific knowledge and also the implementation of ambiently sustainable technologies of generation of income for the community the pioneering Brazilian program finished if becoming a reference, in Brazil and, in internationally practical of ambient conservation and social development them local communities. Under this prism, the book Social Carbon, organized for journalist Andréa Sarmento and written by the engineer agronomist Divaldo Rezende and the economist Stefano practical Merlin is a compilation of and learnings of the project carried through in the Island of the Banana plantation. In the book they are described methodologies to calculate the flow and the supply of carbon in different ecosystems, in order to make possible the implantation of the methodology of social carbon for the generation of carbon credits. The book also approaches, in sufficiently practical way, the experiences of the delicate relation forest-community, that culminated in the sprouting of a new narrowly on ecological concept to the practical one, of social carbon. The Island of the Banana plantation possesss an only ecological wealth, therefore it also has in its area open pasture ecosystems, forest and pantanal, being now an important experimental base of based communitarian development in financings come back toward the social responsibility, by means of the system of carbon credits.
