Monduli Longido Rangeland Carbon Project, Tanzania

  • Project Development

Theory of change

Located on degraded former ranchland in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, the project provides a financial incentive to restore spekboom thicket, a keystone plant species native to the Eastern Cape and largely cleared by agricultural settlers. It is responsible for supporting a rich biodiversity, including 1,500 plant species, 300 of which are endemic.

Climate change mitigation

Planting spekboom thickets in ecologically degraded areas not only sequesters carbon, but also improves soil health and biodiversity, and, if managed properly, increases resilience in a region prone to climate variability.
