5 Rezensionen

Registered as a certified Plan Vivo project in 2010, the CommuniTree Carbon Program uses reforestation to restore ecosystems, improve livelihoods, and reverse climate change. We work with smallholder farmers in Nicaragua to grow trees alongside their existing farming practices. Tree-Nation adds to all trees the same CO2 of Plan Vivo certified projects.

Projektbeschreibung

CommuniTree works with smallholder farmers in Nicaragua to grow trees alongside their existing farming practices. It has grown to become the largest reforestation initiative in the country and has been featured by the UN and EU for its best practices in reforestation.

Certified as a Plan Vivo project in 2010, the project now works with more than 4,200 farmers across Nicaragua. Together, they have planted over 25 million trees across 14,000+ hectares of land, helping to restore ecosystems and sequester 4.3m tCO2 from the atmosphere.

The project ensures the durability of impacts created by helping farmers obtain short, medium and long term value from their forests. In the short term, benefit comes from the sale of high integrity carbon removals, with farmers receiving 60% of carbon revenue. In the medium and long term, farmers are connected to sustainable forest value chains. This makes restoring forests a viable and attractive land-use option, incentivizing farmers to grow trees and keep those trees in the ground.

As farmers start growing trees, Taking Root's technology platform facilitates the collection of ground data, monitoring of tree growing activities, quantification of carbon, and delivery of carbon credits to buyers.
