ARR (Afforestation, Regeneration, Revegetation)

Verified carbon projects sit alongside reduction. They do not make a venue or event carbon neutral or net zero.

What the project does.

This project aims to reforest 1,100 hectares of degraded land which has mainly been used for cattle ranching and pasture and has been designed to continually increase the project zone, project area, and the number of project instances within the expansion area during its lifetime. The project promotes sustainable forest management and innovative silvicultural practices, using mainly native hardwood species for its reforestation sites as well as enrichment planting and assisted natural regeneration where appropriate.

Throughout its lifetime, the project will contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by acting as a sink, sequestering more than 2,700,000 tCO2e. In addition, this project is expected to provide more than 150 full-time employment opportunities, as well as promote the recuperation of natural biodiversity habitats in this region.
