THE ADVANCED COURSE
Implementing
a large-scale plantation for carbon credit
This course provides all the guidelines for implementing large-scale mangrove restoration and rehabilitation projects for carbon credit. We will share technical know-how and practical procedures from our master planters, including methodologies to guarantee carbon credits from a certified body, conserve the coastal environment and its biodiversity, and community livelihood projects to sustain the plantation.
OUR STUDY MODULES
MANGROVE:

REHABILITATION
APPROACHES
(3) Mangrove conservation and rehabilitation are becoming increasingly important, and various approaches are used on a global, national, and local scale.
KEY FACTORS FOR PLANTATION SUCCESS
(4) A study from WIF’s ten years of experience overcoming critical factors for thriving mangrove plantations.
PRE-PLANTING PREPARATION
(5) Pre-planting preparation for large-scale mangrove rehabilitation includes satellite imagery area assessment and land preparation methods.
PLANTING AND MAINTENANCE
(6) Learn from our long experiences implementing large-area planting techniques for mangrove restoration with an eye toward carbon credit issuance.
CARBON PROJECT DEVELOPMENT, IMPLEMENTATION, MONITORING
