One of the places that Shell is buying carbon credits from for the Shell UK nature-based solutions programme is the Cordillera Azul National Park REDD+ project in Peru. Located in Peru’s high forest between the Andes and the Amazon basin, this project restores degraded forests with new agroforestry systems growing cacao and coffee. Alongside preventing more than 2.5 million tons of carbon being released into our atmosphere, the project provides income for local communities – including the 250,000 people living around the park boundaries – and protects the unique biodiversity of the area, which is home to around 6,000 plant species and more than 180 species of fish.
