01 The challenge
A planting only works for the climate if the trees survive. That needs families who have a reason to look after them for decades, so the project had to pay them from the start.
02 The approach
The project signs 40-year agreements with 509 families, who receive 50% of the revenue. It sits within a grouped area of 4,000 hectares and uses methodology AR-ACM0003.
03 Delivery
At the first monitoring, 90% of the planted trees had survived. Planting and upkeep gave work to 600 workers, for 807 man-days, and the project issued 22,913 tCO2e.
