About this project
This product funds EcoMakala — reforestation around Virunga National Park, providing sustainable wood and protecting gorilla habitat (WWF). Certified under Gold Standard.
Operated by WWF, with CO2logic. Each unit is one certified carbon credit — one tonne of CO₂e — retired on the project’s registry. Evertreen acts as an intermediary and does not own or operate the project; credits are a complement to — not a replacement for — cutting your own emissions.
