The land within the Ecuadorian Dry Forests ecoregion was inspected for areas without significant canopy cover. This is a pre-feasibility investigation of the total area that would be eligible for reforestation carbon credits.

The complete carbon investigation will use forest reference levels and more advanced satellite analysis, followed by a site visit for field validation. Based on the Ecuadorian Dry Forests ecoregion, potential native species for planting include Prosopis juliflora (a type of mesquite), palo santo, golden trumpet, laurel, ebony, and various cedar species. These are chosen for their adaptability and value in carbon sequestration and ecosystem restoration.
