Contribution to the SDGs
Environmental impact
Covering 758,648 hectares, the project preserves over 400 million tCO₂e in forest biomass and will deliver verified net reductions of 71.6 million tCO₂e. Certified under Cercarbono (ICROA-endorsed), it is validated by Icontec, verified by Versa, and officially listed in the EcoRegistry. With strong environmental safeguards, it supports SDGs 13 and 15.

Please note: The project was expanded at the request of neighboring Indigenous communities, which is why it appears in two parts.
Methodology
The CERCARBONO “REDD+ Methodology for the Implementation of REDD+ Projects Consistent with National Reference Levels” quantifies emissions reductions from avoided deforestation by integrating rigorous carbon accounting with community-led conservation efforts.
It ensures environmental integrity through satellite monitoring, sustainable land-use planning, and the active participation of indigenous and local communities. For more details, visit Methodologies – Cercarbono.
