Carbon-Eligible Landscape Restoration

Eden: People+Planet implements high-integrity carbon projects that combine philanthropic support with carbon market mechanisms to create sustainable landscape restoration at scale. Our blended finance approach ensures 40-year commitments to communities and landscapes, generating verified carbon credits while delivering exceptional core benefits.

Our Implementation Approach

Through comprehensive landscape restoration, we address the root causes of environmental degradation while creating sustainable funding through carbon credit generation.

• Carbon project development and verification
• Community-based implementation and benefit sharing
• Indigenous species restoration in appropriate areas
• Applied nucleation to accelerate forest recovery
• Fire prevention and management systems
• Watershed protection and restoration
• Sustainable agricultural techniques
• Long-term monitoring and verification

Project Development Process

Every carbon project follows our proven development process, ensuring high-quality outcomes that benefit communities and ecosystems for generations:

1. Identify + Assess: Initial evaluation of carbon project feasibility and potential
2. Vision + Design: Detailed planning and stakeholder engagement
3. Implement + Innovate: Active project implementation with community participation
4. Monitor + Adapt: Long-term verification and maintenance

40-Year Commitment

Our carbon projects represent 40-year commitments to communities and landscapes, ensuring lasting impact through sustainable funding mechanisms. This long-term approach allows us to address root causes of environmental degradation while creating stable employment and community benefits.

Through our blended finance model, every dollar of philanthropic support is multiplied through carbon credit generation, creating self-sustaining landscape restoration that continues for generations.

Standards-Based Approach

All carbon projects follow international verification standards including Verra’s VCS and CCB Standards, ensuring transparent measurement of both carbon sequestration and core benefits including biodiversity conservation and community development.

Creating Systemic Change

By combining personal responsibility with market mechanisms, we create systemic solutions at the scale climate change demands. Our approach transforms traditional philanthropy into self-sustaining conservation that benefits communities and ecosystems for decades to come.

In Tanzania’s Rubeho Mountains, our flagship carbon project is implementing landscape restoration across 394,000 hectares through a combination of forest protection (REDD+) and restoration (ARR). This 40-year initiative will generate 14.8-23.5 million verified carbon credits while protecting critical watersheds and creating sustainable livelihoods for local communities.

Through our blended finance approach, the project combines philanthropic support with carbon market mechanisms to ensure long-term sustainability. Implementation focuses on community-based forest management, sustainable agriculture development, and biodiversity conservation.
