The plantation of forests has been recommended as one of the forms to prevent the effect greenhouse caused for the increase of the concentrations of determined gases in the terrestrial atmosphere. Climatic prevision have taken some organizations to consider behavior rules, with the purpose to minimize the emission of the greenhouse gases. The reduction of the greenhouse gases is one of the goals of the Kyoto Protocol. To make possible the implementation of its intentions, the Protocol Kyoto it established commercial mechanisms, calls of "flexibility mechanisms", amongst them, the Clean Development Mechanism - CDM. One of the lines of project considered eligible in the CDM is the called projects of "carbon sequestration". This type of project, besides reducing CO₂ of the atmosphere, contributes for the sustainable development, providing diverse useful goods and services to the man. Brazil will be able to assume a privileged position together to the countries that they search to revert the process of global climatic change, seating forest projects, edafoclimáticas conditions, availability of land, man power and the domain of technology are factors that contribute significantly for the attraction of investments of this nature.
