    The Efficiency of Carbon Credits: Wildlife Works’ REDD Project Gives Hope to Families in Kasigau

    February 6, 2014 /

    Only someone who has never witnessed first-hand the plight of a developing nation would dispute the effectiveness of carbon credits. According to a report by the UN-REDD Programme, deforestation and degradation of forestlands account for more than 20% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions, second only to the transport sector.

    Kileva uses carbon credits to construct new classroom

    November 25, 2013 /

    Kileva Eastfield Primary School is thrilled to announce the construction of its new classroom, thanks to proceeds from their conservation efforts.  The stone and iron structure is able to accommodate 40 students, and was built using funds from the sale of carbon credits in the Kasigau REDD+ Project. The new construction is especially welcomed by school-going children, who previously walked up to 6 km to access neighboring primary schools.  This long trek was through wildlife-dense landscape and made even more treacherous by the early morning hours in which the children were traveling.  Apart from being dangerous for pupils, the frequent journey between villages was a source of constant conflict between…
