Wildlife Works has been a leader in applying innovative market based techniques to the conservation of biodiversity, and forest habitat, and we see the emerging Global Carbon Marketplace as a logical and exciting extension of our 10 year history.

Our first REDD project in Rukinga, Kenya builds on a successful decade long track record, of bringing much needed jobs to a community that was being forced to destroy their magnificent wilderness in order to survive. In the last ten years we have turned back time, and restored a huge piece of land to a healthy vibrant ecosystem, full of elephants, lions, and 50 other species of large mammal. At the same time, the community has received 18 new classrooms for their children, and the employees and their families have received full health care benefits in a community with incredibly high HIV incidence. Wildlife Works also founded an organic greenhouse to promote healthier farming practices, to provide local farmers with cash generating citrus trees and free agroforestry trees to use for building and fuel wood. Wildlife Works Carbon will provide the financial additionality to ensure long term sustainability of Wildlife Works efforts in Kenya and beyond.

We are now exploring launching a new REDD project to save the 2 Million acre Ngoyla-Mintom Rainforest in the Cameroon from being logged.
