Project highlights

About the project

El Arriero supports sustainable forestry in Uruguay, ensuring continuous carbon capture through re-planting after each harvest. The project will enhance local employment opportunities, with forestry expected to employ more than twice as many people as the displaced grazing industry and promote investment in downstream timber industries. It contributes to rural development and economic growth through increased exports and value-added activities. Additionally, it preserves biodiversity by maintaining habitat connectivity and improving soil quality, supporting both environmental and economic resilience in the region.

Project stats

  • Ha covered: 5377
  • tCO2 sequestration (expected over project lifetime): 1,827,052
  • Planted: 2009

FAQs

How do you ensure the integrity and quality of projects that are far away (international)?

Unlike our UK projects, we do not have a direct hand in the development of the projects we retail from overseas. However, we ensure we carefully select the projects we list by working with trusted, long-standing partners. All projects are certified under recognised high-quality standards that adhere to science-based core principles. 

We continually look to improve how we assess the projects we offer, including using third-party experts to carry out analysis, due diligence and vetting.

Who is behind the Carbon Club? How do I know if I can trust it?

The Carbon Club is powered by Forest Carbon, one of the UK’s most established and experienced woodland and peatland project developers. We’ve been around since before there was even a standard in place to regulate the sale of carbon credits in the UK (so we helped to develop one). You can learn more about our experience and story here.
