• Land titling: We work closely with various levels of government in Peru to assist untitled landowners to achieve formal land titling as part of the co-benefits from the projects.
• Local communities: the project provides hundreds of well paid jobs to members of the local communities.
• Carbon impact: For Phase 1 (10,500ha) alone the project will sequester ~6 million tCO₂e over 40 years which increases to circa 60 million when the project reaches full scale at 100,000ha.
