Carbon Credit Program: Avoided Deforestation

Eco Global Markets are proud to offer carbon credits resulting from an avoided deforestation carbon credit program that operates in the voluntary carbon sector. This project is designed to enable compliance with Voluntary Carbon Standard – The VCS is a robust, new global standard of approval of credible voluntary offsets.

By constructing a carbon credit program to comply with the above standards, the project is aiming at the highest possible quality with exceptional benefits to the climate, to local communities, to biodiversity, and to the local environment.

The decision to aim high and seek such exceptional quality is driven by both commercial and ethical consideration. In commercial terms, we understand that carbon credits produced to exceptional standards will be especially attractive to buyers seeking to enhance their corporate image, and who would wish to see their organisations recognised for their commitment to the minimising of climate change.

The project is to be developed as an avoided deforestation project on almost 5,000 hectares of mature rainforest in Manaus. The area of land is dense, closed canopy, natural rainforest and is considered to be in pristine condition. This project is expected to generate in excess of 1.2 million emission reduction credits which will be delivered to our investors on a pro rata basis.
