Conservation and restoration support is presented as its own contribution. It is not automatically a carbon credit, and it does not make a venue or event carbon-free.
What the project does.
Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo is covered with dense tropical rainforest. These forests are home to a number of critically endangered species like Chimpanzees, Grauer’s Gorillas and the newly recognized African Forest Elephants.
The project is a “carbon vault” which stores huge amounts of carbon within the wood and roots. It is essential that this carbon stays locked up, ensuring that it is not released into the atmosphere. Once fully protected, a total of 195,501,690 metric tonnes of CO2 equivalents (equivalent to the annual energy emission of every home in California and Texas combined) will be secured and will be safely stored in the rainforest, where it belongs.
The proposed site will include a variety of forest types–including high altitude, dense tropical rainforests and old-growth forests. Along with our local partner, Strong Roots, we urgently need your help to stop the deforestation of 769,543 acres of healthy, thriving rainforest.
