Are WLT restoration ecology projects independently verified?
All WLT restoration ecology projects are designed to be transparent, certifiable and to meet the Climate Community and Biodiversity Alliance standard. The CCBA standard has been devised for the voluntary offset market and evaluates projects based on their contribution to biodiversity and the local community as well as climate mitigation. We are confident that all our ‘Kyoto compliant’ work meets the gold accreditation criteria and even exceed them on some points. The CCBA standard does not cover ‘Kyoto non-compliant’ actions but we still aim to address the principles involved. Please visit the restoration ecology projects pages to see how these considerations are applied to each project. We consider the costs to register with an official standard excessive, and would rather spend this money on further conservation. However, if a large company requested that we register and were willing to pay the fees, we would readily do so.
