Project Highlight
Forest Conservation - Carbon Credit
Tropical deforestation threatens biodiversity, carbon storage, watershed function and rural livelihoods. Forest loss is particularly acute in sub- Saharan Africa, where deforestation rates are the highest in the world. Between 2000 and 2020, total tree cover in Uganda decreased by 12% and accounted for 43 the release of 413 Mt of CO2 emissions. Ignosi Research along with researchers from University of New South Wales, Sydney and Oregon State University set out to study effective ways to design Payments for Ecosystems programs. This study, conducted from 2022-2023, involved 1,600 households in eastern, central and western Uganda.
