Darien Conservation Corridor

About this project

The Chocó-Darién Conservation Corridor REDD+ Project was the first conservation project in the world to be awarded carbon credits for protecting community-owned forests.

Activities are managed by COCOMASUR, a vibrant association of Afro-Colombian families that received land title to the area in 2005. The project protects 13,465 hectares (33,275 acres) of tropical rainforest in the Darién region of northwest Colombia, one of the most biologically diverse regions on the planet.

Every credit is verified and permanently retired on the Verra registry.
