Carbon Offset Projects in Costa Rica

Arenal Volcano National Park. More then 200 tons of carbon captured every year since 2005.


Conserving Costa Rican's Wilderness

Picture
Costa Rica  is world wide  recognized by its conservation programs and unique green laws. Arenal Volcano region is  home to one of the world's most important wilderness areas and is renowned for its unique species, biological diversity and the country's largest tract of temperate rainforest.

This carbon offset project protects over 1000 hectares of native Costa Rican forest which would, if not for the project, continue to undergo selective logging or be cleared and converted to pasture. Costa Rica in itself contains over 5% of the world's biodiversity in less than 1% of the world's total land area.This carbon offset project protects 1000 hectares of virgin rainforests which would otherwise have been harvested for timber and converted to agriculture.

Greenhouse gas emissions are avoided by preventing the release of the carbon stored in the trees that otherwise would occur through logging and harvesting the timber.


Greenhouse gas emissions are avoided by preventing the release of the carbon stored in the trees that, in the absence of the project, would occur through logging, processing and use of the timber.

In addition to reducing emissions, protecting the forest from logging secures valuable habitat for native wildlife including several endangered species.

Key Facts
  • Prevents greenhouse gas emissions by funding landowners' protection of native forest as an alternative revenue stream to logging
  • Protects valuable habitat for native wildlife and endangered species
  • Accredited by the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS).
  • Estimated to reduce emissions by 55,549 tonnes of carbon per year
