The Rizoma Project
Turning sustainability commitments into programs that perform.
Program Design
& Grant Strategy
End-to-end program development — from stakeholder mapping and Theory of Change to financial modeling, partnership structuring, and grant strategy. Built for organizations that need programs designed for implementation and accountability, not just intention.
ESG Integration
& Impact Frameworks
Translating sustainability commitments into operational programs with clear KPIs, reporting structures, and performance systems — aligned with CRI, ESRS, and international framewroks.
Sustainability Program Development
Supporting organizations in structuring sustainability initiatives that integrate into core operations — identifying strategic opportunities, building governance frameworks, and designing for long-term organizational value.
Advisory Network
The Rizoma Project operates as a network. Its work is supported by a circle of strategic counsel across legal, financial, and territorial domains — collaborators who bring sectoral depth to the design and implementation of complex programs.
Marina Lickel — Principal
Marina Lickel is a sustainability strategist and architect working at the intersection of program design, impact funding, and socio-environmental practice. Trained as an architect in São Paulo, she founded The Rizoma Project to translate sustainability commitments into programs that perform — operationally, financially, and on the ground.
Her work has spanned more than fifty programs across nine Brazilian states, with particular focus on the Amazon biome, indigenous and traditional communities, and the structuring of international funding for socio-environmental projects.
Danilo Allegrini — Permanent Counsel
Legal advisor on complex contracts, corporate structuring, and rural real estate, with a focus on environmental and agroecological initiatives in the Brazilian Legal Amazon. His practice spans the structuring of large-scale land transactions, contractual frameworks for nature-based projects, and the legal architecture of carbon and ecosystem restoration ventures.
He has played a central role in shaping the legal architecture of re.green's early growth, advising on foundational contracts and first long-term offtake agreements with international corporate buyers. At The Rizoma Project, he provides ongoing counsel on contractual, fiduciary, and territorial matters underpinning program design and delivery.
Based between France and Brazil.
