Biodiversity Credit Project
Partnering with the Great Plains Foundation and local communities to protect and restore Africa’s most iconic species and landscapes
In collaboration with The Great Plains Foundation and local communities, we are developing three biodiversity credit projects, spanning multiple sites across Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Kenya.
These projects aim to rehabilitate degraded landscapes, eradicate invasive species, and conserve keystone species including the iconic Elephants and Rhinos. The credits will support conservation and social benefits for the local and indigenous communities.
