Carbon storage and biodiversity in Katingan, Indonesia

For the past five years, we have been providing technical input to protect 150,000 hectares of forested swamp in Katingan, Indonesia, as part of the voluntary carbon market, helping surrounding villages secure lands for sustainable farming practices. We have prevented the release of an estimated 7.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year while improving the habitat of endangered species that live there in large numbers, including 3,500 orangutans, 10,000 gibbons and 500 proboscis monkeys.
