Village Monde- Mangroves Economy Carbon Solidarity Project

Greentriper Project : Reforesting the Amazon in Bolivia

Mangroves économie is a carbon contribution project supported by Village Monde and Eco-Bénin.

The Greentripper Reforesting the Amazon project in Bolivia, supported by Sicirec, is a Gold Standard-certified carbon contribution project. 

Project A : In Benin, as elsewhere in the world, it is estimated that 40% of mangrove ecosystems have now disappeared, due to overfishing and the sale of timber, among other causes.

Mangroves play a crucial role in the fight against climate change. It preserves coastlines, solidifies soils and protects coasts from wind, waves and storms; it harbors a diversity of wildlife, and represents an important resource for local populations.
It is also a valuable carbon sink, with a capture capacity 3 to 5 times greater than a forest.

The Mangroves Economie project aims to plant, protect mangroves.

Project B : This project in Bolivia’s tropical regions promotes carbon absorption through reforestation and sustainable agriculture. Moving away from traditional slash-and-burn farming practices, it aims to reduce soil degradation and deforestation while improving agricultural yields. Local smallholders, who own most of the land, are organized into unions and collaborate with the project to replant native trees alongside crops.

This integrated approach not only preserves the Amazon rainforest but also provides farmers with sustainable incomes and improves their livelihoods by reconciling environmental protection with economic resilience.
