Project activities: Afforestation & Reforestation; Forest Conservation & Avoided Deforestation The project code-named Trees for Global Benefits has been designed as a cooperative community–based carbon offset scheme with livelihood components emphasising sustainable land-use practices. The aim of the project is to produce long-term, verifiable voluntary emission reductions (VERs) by combining carbon sequestration with rural livelihood improvements through small-scale, farmer led, forestry/agroforestry projects while reducing pressure on natural resources in national parks and forest reserves.
