In Brazil and Bolivia , AEP has partnered with the government, conservation groups and other corporations to protect tropical forests.

Bolivia 's Noel Kempff Mercado Park has nearly four million acres of threatened tropical forests and is one of the most biologically diverse areas in the world. The project preserves forest that otherwise would have been logged – helping to mitigate climate change by capturing carbon in the trees – and fosters sustainable development in local communities.

In Brazil, AEP helped create The Guaraquecaba Climate Action Project in the Atlantic Forest , to restore and protect 17,000 acres of threatened or degraded tropical forests.

The Atlantic Forest has been designated as a World Biosphere Reserve, because what remains of the forest is extraordinarily rich in species, globally outstanding in biological distinctiveness, and critically endangered.

AEP is proud of its continuing commitment to provide affordable, safe, reliable energy in ways that protect and enhance the environment today, and for future.
