NRT kicks off process to align community wildlife conservancies with laws on carbon credit

A carbon credit is a tradable certificate representing the removal or prevention of one metric ton of carbon dioxide or equivalent greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

Northern Rangelands Trust (NRT) has launched a process to align its member community wildlife conservancies in northern Kenya with laws and regulations governing carbon credit projects.

The 22 wildlife conservancies currently benefiting from carbon credits and listed as members of the organisation will become autonomous in managing their resources once the process is complete.
