Carbon Tanzania
A Tanzanian social enterprise that develops community-based REDD+ forest-protection projects, channelling voluntary carbon market revenue directly to the communities who own and protect the land. Its projects include the Yaeda-Eyasi Landscape, established in 2011, and the Ntakata Mountains project, established in 2017 in western Tanzania, which protects roughly 216,000 hectares of community-owned miombo woodland, including habitat of the endangered Eastern Chimpanzee. Ntakata carbon credits verified for 2017-2022 number 2,366,070, and carbon revenue to communities to date is USD 9,340,906. TerraCarbon provided methodology and baseline setting at Ntakata.
