South Pole and Carbon Green Africa Zimbabwe’s first REDD project, Kariba REDD+, owned by the communities living in four rural districts in northwestern Zimbabwe, has been registered with the CCB Standards at Gold Level. Carbon Green Africa and South Pole Carbon Asset Management Ltd, the project developers, have assisted the councils in this achievement.
The Project, a local community-generated project, aims to protect a vast and vital ecosystem at Lake Kariba (Zimbabwe) and its surrounding forests and communities from deforestation. Deforestation is driven by the expansion of slash and burn agriculture, firewood collection and the spread of wildfires.
