Restoring 14,000 Hectares in Cameroon's Congo Basin | The Iroko Restoration Project Webinar

The Congo Basin, the "Green Lungs of Africa", is disappearing. Here's how one project is fighting back. In this webinar, Terraformation's Calea Stiles and Jules Caron of Iroko Analytics pull back the curtain on the Iroko Restoration Project, a landmark 40-year effort to restore 14,000 hectares of Cameroon's rainforest — and prove that a standing forest is worth more than a dead one. This isn't just tree planting. It's a science-backed, community-led restoration model that creates real livelihoods while sequestering 5 million tonnes of CO2 over the project's life. And you can be part of it. What you'll learn: -How 15 million trees (including 2 million cacao trees) are being planted across the Congo Basin -How a community cacao cooperative keeps 100% of revenue local — and turns communities into forest protectors -How Terraware software tracks every tree from nursery to GPS-tagged planting site -How carbon credits are verified using Verra's VM0047 methodology, eDNA sampling, and camera traps monitoring pangolins, hippos, and primates -How women's associations are embedded into the project's revenue structure -How this model could scale across Africa This is what high-integrity, nature-based carbon removal looks like on the ground. 🌿 Support the Iroko Restoration Project: https://refore.st/3YdQ1dO #congobasin #forestrestoration #climateaction #carbonoffsets #reforestation #planttrees #naturebasedsolutions #cameroon #biodiversity #carboncredits #terraformation #treeplanting #climatechange
