Conserving forests and creating carbon credits in Canada

n recent years, wildfires have significantly impacted the lands and communities of the Tŝilhqot’in Nation in the Canadian province of British Columbia. We are helping to address this issue by working with the Tŝilhqot’in National Government to reforest areas that have either been slow to regenerate on their own or have not done so at all. As well as restoring wildfire-devastated areas, the project has the potential to deliver other benefits, including indigenous and local employment – as well as improvements in the local ecosystems.

The project will:

  • Reforest 700 hectares of indigenous lands devastated by wildfire

  • Plant an estimated 840 trees, all native species
