Mangrove restoration project in Yucatan, Mexico

Mexico's mangrove forests play a critical role in biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and supporting local livelihoods. Although mangroves in the Wider Caribbean region (Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and North Brazil) represent 26% of the global mangrove cover, they have shown a decline of 24% in the past 25 years due to human activities (aquaculture, agriculture, forest use, and coastal development) and natural events. Such losses have weakened the ecological integrity of the mangroves and directly affect populations' property, food security, and overall well-being.

Our project, located in the state of Yucatan, covers an area of 5000 hectares. The project aims to restore and preserve the site through afforestation and reforestation actions. By rehabilitating the hydrology and topography of the site, we enable mangroves to naturally colonize such degraded areas. In collaboration with our local partners and with the support of local communities, we conduct the feasibility study, implementation, and monitoring of the project throughout its entire duration.

With our expertise in mangrove restoration and conservation, and by rigorously following VERRA's methodology (VM0033), we ensure the project's Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and Climate, Community & Biodiversity (CCB) certification, and issuance of high-quality and high-integrity carbon credits.  

Engage in a low carbon future by investing in impactful climate action and by supporting biodiversity and livelihoods of local communities. Get in touch with our team of experts!
