WHAT IS
RIMBA RAYA?
Rimba Raya is a living example
of an economically viable
alternative to deforestation.
Rimba Raya is located in Central Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo, and is one of the largest REDD+ peat swamp forest projects in the world, avoiding nearly 130 million tonnes of carbon emissions
Rimba Raya generates carbon credits from High Conservation Value (HCV) peat swamp forest within the carbon accounting area.
Rimba Raya is an InfiniteEARTH Project.
InfiniteEARTH’s Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve achieved another major milestone in September 2020, becoming the first REDD+ project in the world to be audited for SDG (UN Sustainable Development Goal) compliance under the SD Vista Standard – achieving the highest possible rating of contributing to all 17 UN SDGs.
Rimba Raya was the first validated REDD+ project – ever – under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and helped define the criteria by which all projects are measured.
We were also the first REDD+ forest-carbon project in the world to receive triple-gold validation under the Climate Community and Biodiversity Alliance Standard (CCBA)
.
OUR EFFORTS MATTER
Our measurable contribution to emission avoidance
is the equivalent of removing one million cars from the world’s highways every year for the next 30 years.
TAKE ACTION
The bond between a mother and her infant is present regardless of the species! ❤️
Nature has so many lessons for us- we just need to listen.
