OFFSET YOUR FOOTPRINT. PROTECT FORESTS. Because forests capture and store carbon, CI protects standing forests and restores them where they have been lost – storing carbon, protecting species,

and helping communities. Your carbon offset will contribute to these efforts. We work around the world to sustain the nature that sustains us.

Chyulu Hills

The Chyulu Hills landscape covers approximately 410,000 hectares and forms an

integral part of the Greater Tsavo—Amboseli ecosystem, one of East Africa’s most

important and extensive wildlife areas. It includes Kenya’s largest population of

elephants and remnant populations of critically endangered black rhino. In

addition, its high elevation cloud forest hold biodiversity value and is an extremely

important water tower both locally and regionally.

Peru

The ecologically rich Alto Mayo Protected Forest in Peru secures one

of the most threatened ecosystems in the tropical Andes. It is of critical

importance to the survival of Peru’s endemic fauna and flora and also

home to around 4,000 families that directly depend on the forests for

their livelihoods. It is also a crucial source of fresh water for more than

240,000 people living in the watershed.

* Goods & Services: 4 tons of carbon dioxide (57 trees) is automatically added to each person to cover Goods & Services, e.g. clothing, furniture, appliances, entertainment, personal care, heath care and education. This component is complex and variable, so we have based our estimate off several lifecycle analyses.
