One of the places that Shell is buying carbon credits from for the Shell UK nature-based solutions programme is the Katingan Mentaya project in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. The Katingan Mentaya Project protects 150,000 hectares of peat swamp forest, preventing hundreds of millions of tons of carbon being released into the atmosphere and providing a sustainable habitat for exotic 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.
