What We Do

We protect vital biodiversity by originating and developing community-centric carbon projects across Africa.

With 700,000ha already under management, by 2030 we aim to support the protection of 3 million ha and bring to market 30 million tonnes of CO₂e.

Our Projects

No matter the geography, all our projects follow five design elements to ensure project integrity and permanent carbon removals.

  • We prioritize large-scale projects with the capacity to generate a minimum of three million verified carbon credits over their lifetime. This threshold ensures that each project contributes meaningfully to global climate goals, justifies the upfront investment required for high-quality implementation and monitoring, and attracts credible institutional buyers in the voluntary carbon market. Large-scale projects also allow for meaningful economies of scale, better environmental outcomes, and measurable social impact.

  • We work exclusively with trusted, experienced local partners who bring critical technical know-how, contextual understanding, and long-standing relationships with host communities and stakeholders. These partners may include conservation NGOs, forestry experts, development organizations, and local government institutions. By doing so, we ensure that projects are implemented effectively, culturally appropriately, and in ways that build long-term local capacity and project ownership.

  • Secure land tenure is a cornerstone of every ACP project. Prior to development, we ensure that all project areas have documented, undisputed, and enforceable land rights, whether under community, public, or private ownership. This clarity is essential not only for the integrity and legality of the carbon credits issued, but also for protecting the rights of communities and stakeholders involved. Land tenure clarity reduces risks, ensures fair benefit-sharing, and builds the foundation for long-term sustainability.

  • Our model is built on the principle that communities must be at the center of project design, implementation, and benefit-sharing. Through participatory planning, transparent governance structures, and inclusive livelihood interventions, ACP ensures that communities are active stakeholders, not passive beneficiaries. Projects aim to enhance resilience, generate employment, strengthen traditional knowledge systems, and improve overall well-being. The carbon market becomes a tool to unlock transformative local development, not just emissions reduction.

  • We engage with government stakeholders early and consistently at both national and sub-national levels. This includes ensuring alignment with climate strategies, securing necessary authorizations, and involving agencies responsible for land, environment, and rural development. Proactive engagement helps navigate regulatory frameworks, builds political buy-in, and ensures that projects contribute to national climate goals under frameworks such as NDCs (Nationally Determined Contributions). It also strengthens accountability and transparency across all stages of project development.

ACP is developing the first nature-based carbon project to receive approval from the Nigerian government, a ~400k ha project in West Africa’s largest national park.
