Across two phases of implementation, the Delta Blue Carbon Project aims to restore over 300,000 hectares of degraded mangroves on the south-east coast of Pakistan. The project will rehabilitate and restore these degraded lands through assisted natural regeneration alongside active replanting. So far 86,409 Hectares have been replanted.
Project partners include the Government of Sindh, Pollination, Silvestrum, and the Climate, Community & Biodiversity Alliance who have verified the project for assurance of credit integrity.
The first issuance period results in 3.1 million voluntary carbon credits being issued to the project. The funding from these credits has contributed to greater employment opportunities in the area, as well as investment in health, water and education initiatives. In addition to social co-benefits, the project also secures habitat for 11 species on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s Red List, including the fishing cat, the Indus River dolphin, and the Indian pangolin.
The project aims to deliver over 250 million high-integrity blue carbon credit units over its 60-year lifetime.

The April Salumei project protects and sustainably manages over 600,000 hectares of globally significant virgin rainforest in the East Sepik Province of Papua New Guinea. The project area has previously been recognised as an exceptional biodiversity hotspot by the Climate Community and Biodiversity Standard (SCS, 2011). Before becoming a carbon project, the area was planned to be cleared for logging.
