The Kariba REDD+ Project, located in northwestern Zimbabwe on the shore of Lake Kariba, connects several National Parks and Game reserves as a biodiversity corridor. The project aims to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in the project area. The project is currently undergoing CCBS and VCS validation.

The project is community-based and implements activities in conjunction with the local population. Decreasing deforestation shall be achieved through a series of activities that are designed to significantly improve the livelihoods such as improved agriculture, beekeeping, fuelwood plantations, fire management and education and capacity building across the project area of more than 1'000'000 hectares of communally owner land.

The project area lies within the Zambezian biome of the Zambezi basin. The major ecosystems include mopane, miombo and riparian woodland. The project area is an important wildlife area, showing significant populations of African elephants, lions, impalas, hippos and crocodiles along with a wide variety of birds, including the IUCN red list vulnerable species Southern Ground Hornbill, Lappet-faced Vulture, and White-headed Vulture.
