CO2OL Tropical Mix

This project is located in Panama and is spread over a large area in the provinces of Panama, Darien, Veraguas, Chiriqui and Bocas del Toro.   The project is a reforestation project planting native trees and some teak trees. It is a Gold Standard project for the Global Goals, and so not only saves carbon, but also contributes to alleviating poverty, providing decent work and economic growth, encouraging responsible consumption and production, supporting climate action, and protecting life on land.   On the project areas of CO2OL Tropical Mix, formerly fallow and degraded pasture land is reforested with mostly native tree species and turned into mixed forests. Parts of the areas are used for the fair production of organic cocoa. Due to its sustainable management, the project combines environmentally friendly timber and cocoa production with biodiversity protection and ecosystem restoration. The trees are planted on land that was previously grassland, and the project will be independently verified every 5 years to check on progress and growth, as well as issue carbon credits.
