The Tiapleu Project
Located in the Département de Danané, in western Côte d’Ivoire, Tiapleu sits at the heart of the Upper Guinea biodiversity hotspot, one of the most threatened forest ecosystems in Africa and the world.
The project covers degraded forest and agricultural land. The planting plan is based on a multi-species silvicultural approach, guided by our monitoring plan and applying Verra’s VM0047 methodology for afforestation, reforestation and revegetation.
The plantation area is managed in partnership with 25 local communities under formal Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) agreements. All planting, monitoring and maintenance operations give priority to local employment.
Project Components
Forest Restoration
Planting of Upper Guinea native species on degraded land, with survival monitoring and replacement planting where needed.
Agroforestry Systems
Integration of food crops and cacao in buffer zones, generating revenue for communities during the growth of forest trees
Proprietary MRV Monitoring
Field measurements, satellite and other geospatial information, and drone surveys where included in the monitoring plan. Technology supports this process but does not replace independent assessment.
Community Impact
Partner communities engaged under free, prior and informed consent agreements, with local jobs and proposed benefit-sharing arrangements.
Pipeline VCU
Future carbon removals are being developed under the applicable methodology. Delivery depends on project implementation, independent assessment and the applicable registration, verification and issuance requirements.
Biodiversity Conservation
15+ native species planted. Ecological corridors maintained. CCB Gold target for biodiversity and community wellbeing co-certification.
