Katingan Peatland and Forest Conservation REDD+
A peatland conservation and restoration project in Indonesia, supporting sustainable sources of income through agriculture, agro-forestry, eco-tourism and aquaculture.






The project protects and restores over 140,000 hectares of peatland ecosystems by helping local people build sustainable sources of income through agriculture, agro-forestry, eco-tourism and aquaculture. This prevents the conversion of the area to industrial plantations of acacia, a tree which is commonly used for flooring. Conversion through forest clearance, draining and burning of the underlying peat would release the large carbon and methane stored by the area, as well as destroy the rich biodiversity. Carbon finance funds activities helping residents to make a living from non-timber forest products like rattan, honey, coconut and jelutong, fire prevention, eco-tourism, canal management and sustainable fisheries.
Over 90% of the carbon is in the underlying peat soils. The project has an estimated 7.4 million tonnes of CO₂e avoided every year.


Certified under the Verra Carbon Standard (VCS), the world’s most widely used carbon crediting program, endorsed by ICROA.
