Landowners and local NGOs work together.
Communities need to link with a local NGO when developing their carbon project. They also need to meet certain criteria.
- Forest is under threat from logging or land-clearing
- 1,000+ hectares of forest is available for a carbon project
- Landowners and communities hold uncontested land rights

Spotlight community: Sirebe Tribe
The Sirebe Tribe were the first in the Solomon Islands to trade conservation forest carbon on the voluntary carbon market. In partnership with local organisation NRDF under the Babatana Rainforest Conservation Project, they chose to protect their forest from logging and land-clearing and begin the journey towards carbon trading and community resilience.
Sirebe have protected 800+ hectares of rainforest, built a team of dedicated Indigenous forest rangers, supported a strong women-led savings group and led on decisions about how their forests are managed. They're a leader for other tribes on Choiseul who have since joined the Babatana Rainforest Conservation Project.
