MFCI was awarded three carbon offset projects for 30-year term, covering a combined 301,565 hectares of indigenous forest, collectively known as Ngamo, Gwayi & Sikumi (NGS) REDD+ project.
We are partnered with the Zimbabwe Forestry Commission to develop and operate the project.
Carbon credits will be generated though protection of the forests from deforestation and degradation which in turn will fund local community projects and support the protection of indigenous forests
Main causes of deforestation and degradation include use for firewood, clearing for agriculture and animal grazing and timber

Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) created by United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP)
The framework guides activities in the forestry sector to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation through the sustainable management of forests.
REDD+ projects support local communities through socio-economic projects in line with principles on sustainable management, forest protection and nature conservation.

According to Global Forest Watch, from 2001 to 2021, Zimbabwe lost 224,0000 hectares of tree cover.
Equivalent to a 16% decrease in tree cover since 2000, and 87.4Mt of CO₂e emissions.
Deforestation has been the dominant driver of tree cover loss in Zimbabwe.

Deforestation has been the dominant driver of tree cover loss in Zimbabwe.
This loss of biodiversity can compromise the contributions of the indigenous forests to climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration affecting carbon and nitrogen cycles and livelihood sustainability.
