The Livelihoods-ARCOS project is a partnership implemented by the NGO Albertine Rift Conservation Society, and the Livelihoods Carbon Fund. Our digital tools enable carbon certification of the project according to Verified Carbon Standard (verra.org/).
The project aims to mitigate land degradation and the negative impacts of climate change on 15,000 hectares of land in Rwanda. The project will plant 3.7 million trees for agroforestry, incl. fruit and wood production on 26,000 smallholder farmers’ land. We estimate that the project will sequester 2.3 – 3.5 million tons of t CO2e over 20 years.
