  A community-led project in Kenya will protect 107 ha of natural mangrove forest and 10 hectares of plantation as well as planting an additional 0.4 ha of forest annually, over a project time-scale of 20 years. Carbon benefits are conservatively estimated as 2500 tonnes CO2 per year, which is derived from a mix of avoided deforestation, prevented forest degradation and new planting. All projected profit from Mikoko Pamoja will be invested in local projects determined through community consultation.
