The carbon sequestration project began in 2021 with around 32,398 ha of its forest allocated to sustainable exploitation which refers to the responsible use of natural resources involving harvesting at a rate that allows the population to replenish itself.
Conhuás Ejido Project
The forest carbon sequestration project is implemented together with the Conhuás ejido, the name for communally-held land located in Calakmul, Campeche in southeastern Mexico. It has more than 50,000 hectares of forest bordering Kilómetro 120 and Calakmul Biosphere Reserve, an ejido of great ecological importance connecting landscapes which has an enormous potential to act as a biological corridor (a.k.a. Wildlife Corridor or Habitat Corridor, an area of habitat connecting wildlife populations separated by human activities or structures). The ejido is in the application process to be certified as Areas Voluntarily Destined for Conservation (ADVC), natural protected areas under the jurisdiction of the federal government in Mexico.
Grassland Restoration Project
The Grassland Restoration and Stewardship in South Africa (GRASS) grouped project is designed to unlock, upscale and incentivize the adoption of improved agricultural land management and ecosystem restoration in the grassy biomes of South Africa. The Herding for Health (H4H) model is employed under this project which empowers the farmer and herder through smallholder livestock value chain development to build resilience to climate change. The model also supports rangeland restoration and greenhouse gas (GHG) sinks while reducing GHG emissions by sequestering carbon into the soil and reducing methane emissions from livestock enteric fermentation. The project promotes sustainable land management practices, including rotational grazing, wildfire prevention, and collective management of grazing practices.
