The Green Lions Initiative is a reforestation project in East Cameroon that will restore nearly 16,000 hectares of degraded forest in the Congo Basin Rainforest — the “Green Lungs” of Africa.

In addition to issuing 5.4 million tCO2e Verified Carbon Units (VCUs), the project will generate income opportunities and revenue sharing back to the local Ndélélé and Bétaré-Oya communities.

This project is based on Verra’s VM0047 Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation (ARR) methodology, with registration under Verra targeted for Q2–Q3 2026.

The Bukidnon-Tagoloanon Tribe is restoring 1,000 hectares of tropical forests on degraded ancestral land. Planting native species will enhance biodiversity, curb erosion, and reduce risk of wildfire.

Co-benefits include improved food security through agroforestry programs and sustainable job opportunities.

ReDAW is restoring degraded coastal wetlands in a biodiversity hotspot protected under the global Ramsar Wetlands Treaty. Planting native mangroves supports local community members, protects Red List endangered species, and sequesters carbon at three to five times the rate of terrestrial forests.

Co-benefits include the revitalization of community fisheries, improved water quality and flood control, and agroforestry, aquaculture, and apiculture opportunities.

Sembrando Futuro 2.0 aims to restore Andean forests near three Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) in the Antioquia region. These rehabilitated ecosystems will restore crucial wildlife habitats, connect migration routes, and protect biodiversity.

Co-benefits include creating sustainable jobs for the community, agroforestry programs, a center for research and education, and a large-scale nursery for native species.
