Project highlights

About the project

The project area is comprised of community land from seven indigenous communities located around the Ucayali River. Native communities are the second largest managers of forest land in Peru and are key actors in the success of forest, biodiversity, culture and climate protection at the world scale. The project addresses the local, economic drivers of deforestation and forest degradation by supporting the development of socially inclusive businesses.

About

The Nii Kaniti project in Peru focuses on protecting rainforests and avoiding deforestation on community land through scaling up sustainable community forest management. It combines conservation efforts that value indigenous-led development with FSC-certified timber harvesting and cacao agroforestry.

The project is located in Ucayali, a region in the central part of Eastern Peru, on the edge of the Amazon Rainforest. By protecting 119,837 hectares of critical rainforest ecosystem, the project reduced global emissions by 2.7 million tonnes of CO2 by 2021, and is expected to keep delivering over half a million tonnes per year beyond that.

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.
