Descriptions

Restoring Trees and Livelihoods in Kenya aims to restore trees, enhance ecosystems services and increase carbon storage in the landscape, through the scaling up of nature-based restoration activities including the growing of 2,103,143 trees, whilst improving the livelihoods of 30,000 households and restoring 32,500 hectares in Kenya. The resulting carbon sequestered from these restoration activities will be approximately 1,294,264 tonnes of CO2eq which the project will aim to convert to approximately 647,132 tonnes of CO2eq into certified credits.
