Carbon Tanzania is a social enterprise that creates economic value in natural resources for indigenous people through sustainable management of forests and biodiversity. We generate forest-based carbon credits that enable Tanzania’s indigenous resource-owners to earn revenues from the protection of their natural resources. These verified emissions reductions allow businesses to invest in a nature-based solution that serves the climate, indigenous communities, wildlife, and contributes to delivering the SDGs. Our work with our forest community partners protects 6888km2 of forest avoiding 857,284 tonnes of CO2 annually while supporting rural livelihoods.
