Teknoflor Supports the Kasigau Corridor Redd Project with 1,000 Verified Carbon Units

This year, Teknoflor is partnering with The Kasigau Corridor Redd Project to support its mission to stop deforestation and help keep forests intact. Teknoflor provided the organization with 1,000 Verified Carbon Units (VCUs) for its second phase of the project – The Community Ranches.

The Kasigau Corridor REDD+ Project protects over 200,000 hectares of dryland forest with over 11,000 wild elephants that live in this ecosystem (2,000+ of those elephants call Rukinga their permanent home). The project provides social programs that impact over 116,000 local people and provides the local community of the Kasigau Corridor region with long-term jobs that replace unsustainable sources of income such as poaching, subsidence agriculture and illegal tree harvesting. In an area where wildlife and human survival were at odds, the project has created a market-driven solution to wildlife conservation through an expansive community-led, community-based conservation model, with profound and lasting impact.
