Our offset project
We currently support one project, which is a rainforest conservation project. Contributing to Stellarcarbon means you will be investing in the positive outcomes of the project.
Ucayali regionThis project, located in Peru's Ucayali region, focuses on forest
conservation within the territories of the Shipibo-Conibo and
Cacataibo Indigenous communities. The project aims to reduce
deforestation and forest degradation while supporting sustainable
forest management practices. The Ucayali region, home to a rich
diversity of Indigenous cultures and ecosystems, faces increasing
pressure from deforestation driven by agricultural expansion and
other land-use changes.
Verified Carbon StandardThrough this initiative, the participating communities are working
to protect their forests, preserve biodiversity, and generate
verified carbon credits under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and
Climate, Community & Biodiversity (CCB) standards, contributing to
climate change mitigation, the safeguarding of the area’s rich
biodiversity, and the protection of Indigenous livelihoods.
