Forest Carbon Credits

Forest carbon credits are certificates representing the reduction of greenhouse gases achieved through forest conservation, reforestation, or sustainable management. When a project prevents or reduces deforestation or promotes tree planting, it absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere. These credits can be sold to individuals or companies looking to offset their emissions, supporting efforts to combat climate change. Essentially, they quantify the environmental benefit of keeping forests healthy or expanding them, turning ecological impact into a tradable asset that encourages investment in sustainable forestry practices.
