BLUE FUTURE MOZAMBIQUE

The Blue Future project focuses on Mozambique’s critical coastal ecosystems mangroves, coral reefs, and seagrass meadows including the unique Janga Key Biodiversity Area (KBA), home to the country’s only known anchialine cave system. These habitats are under intense pressure from overfishing, charcoal production, and mining. The project is piloting integrated restoration, protection, and sustainable livelihood models to reverse ecosystem degradation. It is also assessing how a community-based performance payment (PBP) mechanism could lay the foundation for a biodiversity credit system, building on and strengthening Mozambique’s existing regulatory framework for aggregated biodiversity offsets.

EARTHACRE

The project is located in the Southern Boundary of Nairobi National Park. This is the Kitengela Conservation Area within the Athi Kapiti Landscape , the wildlife corridor connecting Nairobi National Park to Amboseli National Park. Its main objective is to make Community-Led Stewardship of Biodiversity a Financially Feasible Choice in Southern Kenya (Kajiado, Narok and Taita Taveta )

ECO EXIST

Located in the heart of the Okavango Delta Panhandle region in northwestern Botswana, it is home to over 16,000 elephants and 20,000 people across 800,000 hectares, 83,000 hectares of which are wildlife corridors that channel Elephant and other wildlife movement between villages and field areas to critical resources. The proposed pilot project area of the Endorotsha corridor is 12,360ha, called the Endorotsha Elephant corridor, located near the village of Gunotsoga. Ecoexist, a renowned NGO with over a decade of operational experience mitigating human-wildlife conflict in the region, in partnership with Gazelle, a pioneering environmental services firm in Botswana, are collaborating with the local community to drive conservation efforts in the Endorotsha Elephant corridor. 

KALAHARI BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION

Kalahari Biodiversity Conservation (KBC) safeguards one of the largest remaining wilderness landscapes in Botswana’s Kgalagadi District, an area increasingly threatened over the past decade by livestock encroachment and rising poaching pressure. Implemented in partnership with local communities through an established Memorandum of Understanding, the project works to reduce overgrazing and biodiversity loss by strengthening wildlife protection and managing grazing impacts. 

VANGA SEAGRASS

Vanga Bay, Kenya is home to vital seagrass ecosystems that supports marine biodiversity and benefits the local community, however, unsustainable fishing threatens this ecosystem and the services it provides. The Vanga Seagrass Project protects Vanga's seagrass meadows and their important biodiversity through a Locally Managed Marine Area and collaborates with the fishing community on management interventions. The project is managed by a committee of local representatives who drive the project forward. The project will issue marine biodiversity credits under Plan Vivo's Biodiversity Standard (PV Nature). This high-integrity and community-led project will protect this unique marine ecosystem, providing tangible benefits for both communities and conservation

KILIMANJARO ECOSYSTEM

The Kilimanjaro Project is creating a rumble from slopes of Kilimanjaro, demonstrating what it’s going to take to scale and accelerate biodiversity and ecosystem restoration through investments that provide positive financial, social, and nature outcomes.

ECOTRUST UGANDA

This Community-led program is designed, owned, and led by the community, aiming to secure and restore the wildlife corridors connectivity between the Bugoma-Budongo Forest Reserves. This innovative nature-based financing stream promotes the use of local knowledge and advances the local landowners; ownership of conservation efforts. The project focuses on restoring connectivity by revitalizing Central forests around currently degraded areas, particularly riverine, tropical high and medium-altitude, and moist semi-deciduous community forests that act as stepping stones for wildlife traveling between the protected areas.

WILD ELEPHANT FOREST

Wild Elephant Forest 10 The Project is situated in the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA) and is home to incredible biodiversity including charismatic megafauna. The project protects 3 critical forests that are crucial for ecological connectivity between other protected areas threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation. Crucially the project is being developed in partnership with neighboring local communities who will lead biodiversity conservation work and derive the majority of the benefits from the sale of the certified biodiversity credits.

YAEDA EYASI LANDSCAPE

The Yaeda-Eyasi Landscape project protects 108,000 hectares of Tanzanian dryland forest, securing a corridor for local wildlife to the Ngorongoro highlands. By reinforcing the land rights of Indigenous Hadza and Datooga communities, the initiative creates a durable, community-led model for conservation. This award-winning project effectively protects the landscape while delivering high-impact environmental and social returns. The project contributes toward addressing 10 UN Sustainable Development Goals through its proven, results-based framework.

TERRASOS

The Yerrecuy Habitat Bank is a pioneering 30-year preservation and restoration project led by the Afro-descendant community ASOCASAN in the Chocó region of Colombia. It protects 1,300 hectares of very humid tropical forests, using a performance-based financial model where Voluntary Biodiversity Units (Tebu®) are issued once ecological and management milestones are met. By integrating ancestral knowledge with rigorous technical monitoring, the project aims to mitigate deforestation, restore degraded landscapes, and strengthen territorial governance while generating sustainable local employment for 52 families. 

CER-KENYA

The Enar au Conservancy (EC) is a 1,270-hectare conservation project established in 2022 in Kenya's Maasai Mara, focused on restoring degraded land, protecting native ecosystems, and increasing biodiversity. Led by the Centre for Ecosystem Restoration-Kenya (CER-K), the project tackles threats like invasive species, poaching, human-wildlife conflict, and habitat disruption through three core interventions: protection, restoration, and improved land management. Community engagement is central to the approach, with local Maasai and Kipsigis communities involved as rangers, employees, and knowledge providers to ensure long-term sustainability and coexistence with wildlife.

China Tiangong Institute of Green Development

The China Tiangong Institute of Green Development (CTGI) is a non-profit research institution dedicated to advancing green transformation in traditional industries and fostering the development of emerging green sectors. Through forward-looking research, standard development, and industry services, CTGI works to bridge scientific innovation, policy frameworks, and market mechanisms in support of sustainable development.
