Zimbabwe’s first REDD+ project has been successfully registered with the Community, Climate, and Biodiversity Standard at the Gold level. The project, developed by South Pole Carbon and Carbon Green Africa, is currently undergoing validation under the Verified Carbon Standard. It will cover 800,000 hectares around Lake Kiba and is expected to sequester 3,000,000 tons over five years. The forest around the lake is home to species like the African lion and elephant, as well as provided wildlife corridors between several national parks. Read about the project here (PDF)
