TIST Program projects Kenya
Developed by The International Small Group and Tree Planting Program (TIST)
The TIST Program counteracts the devastating effects of deforestation, erosion, famine, drought and floods by planting trees.
The programme encourages small groups of subsistence farmers in Kenya to improve their local environment and farms by planting and maintaining trees on degraded or unused land - restoring what was dense forest a century ago.
This community-led tree planting project covers ten different areas, aiming to improve the lives of some of the poorest people in the world. As well as planting trees, the project trains farmers in conservation farming and provides health education.

Houji Solar Cooking Project
Developed by Sirreon Technology & Development (Beijing) Co., Ltd
Most rural households in Zhenping County in the Henan province of China use coal-fired stoves for cooking and boiling water, leading to significant greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution that's a health risk to residents. This project aims to address the situation by providing 50,000 solar cookers to homes, enabling rural families to efficiently substitute solar energy for coal. The solar cookers also reduce fuel costs and health-damaging air pollution.

Katingan Mentaya Project
Developed by Permian Global
The Katingan Mentaya Project protects almost 150,000 hectares of peat swamp forest, preventing hundreds of millions of tonnes of carbon being released into the atmosphere and providing a sustainable habitat for native wildlife.
The protected peatland habitats in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia are home to several critically endangered species, including up to 10% of the surviving Bornean orangutans, southern Bornean gibbons and proboscis monkeys. The project also works with local villages to alleviate poverty: all employees are Indonesian.
Katingan Mentaya's impact is equivalent to taking two million cars off the road each year.

The Guatemalan Conservation Coast
Developed by Fundación para el Ecodesarrollo y la Conservación (FUNDAECO)
As a wintering and stopover site for 120 species of migratory birds, Izabal, on the Caribbean coast of Guatemala, is crucial for biodiversity conservation.
The sale of carbon credits helps finance new nature reserves while supporting existing natural forest, which is under threat from deforestation and 'slash and burn' agriculture and cattle ranching.
Not only does the project area protect wildlife, it's also critical to the local water supply, building up coastal defences, and supporting local agriculture. Its revenue boosts agroforestry ecosystems and eco-tourism, as well as providing resources to support community programmes, such as health and education for women and girls.
