Projects in Kenya
Dakatcha Woodlands Carbon Project
The Dakatcha Woodlands Carbon Project protects 241,000 hectares of Kenya's most threatened coastal forest ecosystem in Kilifi County. Through innovative carbon finance, this 40-year initiative combines forest protection and restoration to safeguard endangered species while supporting sustainable livelihoods for local communities through a landscape-scale approach that honors both people and planet.
Lamu County Mangrove Restoration Initiative
Along Kenya's northern coast, our Lamu County initiative is revitalizing the country's largest continuous mangrove ecosystem across 154,000+ hectares. By partnering with coastal communities who have maintained traditional relationships with these forests for over 700 years, we're fostering climate resilience, protecting critical wildlife habitat, and supporting sustainable livelihoods for more than 126,200 people in the region.
Mau Forest Complex Restoration Project
The Mau Forest Complex Restoration Project works with local communities and government partners to restore and protect Kenya's largest Afromontane forest ecosystem—a critical water tower sustaining 13 rivers, millions of people, and the iconic Mara-Serengeti wildlife. By coordinating existing restoration efforts and implementing advanced techniques, we're fostering landscape connectivity while supporting sustainable community livelihoods.
Olokeri Carbon Project
The Olokeri Carbon Project works with Maasai communities to preserve 153,000 hectares of culturally sacred Naimina Enkiyio Forest in Kenya's Loita Hills. This 40-year initiative combines indigenous stewardship with carbon finance to protect biodiversity-rich Afromontane ecosystems, potentially generating 8-29 million tCO₂e while supporting sustainable community livelihoods and preserving vital cultural heritage.
