Rio Bravo Climate Action Project

The Rio Bravo Climate Action Project ensures the conservation and sustainable management of 15,550 acres of forest within Central America's Mayan Forest, the largest contiguous block of tropical forest north of the Amazon. Between 2002 and 2010, the project prevented the net emission of 1,660,260 metric tons of carbon dioxide by preventing its conversion to mechanized agriculture, as certified by the Verified Carbon Standard (“VCS”), a global leader in the quantification of carbon emissions and the issuance of credits on the voluntary market. The carbon project is part of the larger Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area, a 260,000 acre reserve which includes mixed lowland and moist sub-tropical broadleaf forests in northwestern Belize.
