The Nampula Reforestation Project in Northern Mozambique is a large-scale, long-term effort to restore 17,200 hectares of degraded land using a combination of native and non-native tree planting, assisted natural regeneration, and agroforestry.
The project aims to remove and store up to 4.5 million tCO₂e over its lifetime, generate significant socio-economic benefits for local communities, and restore biodiversity in the miombo woodlands.
It follows rigorous national and international standards, including the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), the Climate, Community & Biodiversity Standards (CCB), and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), and prioritizes community engagement, benefit sharing, and environmental safeguards.
The project is designed for a 100-year crediting period and includes a complementary smallholder agroforestry program targeting at least 2,800 hectares and 2,000 farmers.
Florestal do Norte SA (FdN) is our Mozambican subsidiary, currently developing the Nampula Reforestation Project.
